Don't you also need to register early CMU_TOP, which provides clocks
for CMU_PERI? I'm afraid it might not work properly when you register 
CMU_PERI clocks early and only later in probe() you enable parent clock
required for the already registered clocks to be usable.
How about registering also CMU_TOP early and enabling parent clock
also in OF_CLK_DECLARE init callback, i.e. using either OF_CLK_DECLARE
or platform driver for a CMU?
