Thomas,

thanks for catching this and sorry for the inconvenience. Either I
simply missed s3c64xx or it went in with that global of_clk_init
patch.

mvebu is fine as long as it has its own .init_time callback (which it
has).

I also had a look at keystone and guess it is broken, too.
of_clk_init(NULL) is called in keystone_pm_runtime_init() which is
set as subsys_initcall. Simply removing the extra of_clk_init call
in keystone_pm_runtime_init should be enough here:

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: keystone: remove call to of_clk_init

Commit

4178bac ARM: call of_clk_init from default time_init handler

added implicit call to of_clk_init(NULL) from default time_init callback.
This causes double clock initialization on keystone, leading to boot
failures.

This patch fixes boot failure on keystone by dropping the call to
of_clk_init(NULL) in keystone_pm_runtime_init(), which is set as
subsys_initcall and therefore called after arch-wide .init_time callback.
