Well *even where there is a specific ruling against the brocha in the SA"
you can find ROY etc allowing for it.  He does so in relation to hanoten
l'ayef koach (which Maran rejects), and also on saying all of the other
brochos every morning whether or not one heard a cock crow or puts on shoes
or clothing  the Yalkut Yosef to the latter is Chelek Aleph Birchat
Hashachar  paragraph 3 where he says "she habrachot hen al minhago haolam.
V'af al pi she ain zu da'ato shel Maran Hashulchan Aruch, mikol makom hoiel
v'pashat haminhag l'varech, safek bracha l'hakel b'mkom minhag lo amirinan
u'ma gam sheken svarat rabotainu hamekublim". And similarly in paragraph 4
(regarding hanoten l'ayef koach) he again goes against Maran, although this
time he adds in the fact that the geonim had this, and thus maybe it was in
their nusach of the gemora - but concludes with the fact that that it is the
minhag of all groups of Israel and hence should be said with Shem and
Malchut
