I checked a bit with Stephen on IRC, follow the suggestion to 'split
the clks are registsered between CLK_OF_DECLARE_DRIVER() and driver
probe so that the ones you need really early are done through the
CLK_OF path and the other ones are done through regular driver probe'.

Also checked for mainline kernel, now there have some examples,
like: drivers/clk/mediatek/clk-mt2701.c.
