This is still valid, right ?

No. Since this patch uses devm_clk_get_enabled() to get a clock, if the
pclk is not found, it returns -ENOENT (see of_parse_clkspec()).

Only the optional clock APIs (e.g., devm_clk_get_optional_enabled())
return a NULL pointer instead of -ENOENT when the clock is not found.

This will break ACPI based systems, as we may not have a "pclk" described for them. We should be able to tolerate "no pclk"
