I think that would break Zynq.
If I see this correctly you call of_clk_init() from common code,
_before_ the SOC specific time init function is called.
The problem is, that we have code setting up a global pointer which is
required by zynq_clk_setup() which is triggered when of_clk_init() is
called.
Let me try to illustrate the current call graph:
time_init()
zynq_timer_init() // this machines init_time()
zynq_slcr_init() // setup System Level Control Registers including a global pointer
zynq_clock_init()
of_clk_init()
zynq_clk_setup() // requires pointer setup in zynq_slcr_init()
...
IIUC, your series would change this to:
time_init()
of_clk_init()
zynq_clk_setup() // SLCR pointer is not setup/NULL
...
zynq_timer_init()
zynq_slcr_init() // now the pointer becomes valid
