Where is the device_node->data pointer getting set?
In general the ->data pointer of struct device_node should be avoided.
There are no strong rules about its usage which means there is a very
real risk that another driver or subsystem will try to use it for a
different purpose.
Iterating over the whole device tree is safer, and it really isn't
very expensive. If you really want to store the struct_clk pointer in
the device node, then it would be better to add a struct clk * field
to struct device_node.
