What happens if uclk isn't found but it is needed?

It will not fail but I guess the usb host won't work as the clock won't
be correctly
configured.

I agree with you: this is not a good solution.

Another option is to keep the previous version of this patch and put
uclk handling
in "#ifdef CONFIG_COMMON_CLK #endif" sections.

Would this be acceptable ?

Yes. However, a more elegant approach is to protect the relevant
statements with: if (defined(CONFIG_COMMON_CLK)). This preprocessor

You probably meant IS_ENABLED() or IS_BUIILTIN()? Or is there something I don't know about gcc preprocessor?

evaluates this to a 0 or 1, so the compiler will not generate output
for the protected source code if the symbol isn't defined.
