Hi Simon
Its often worth asking, or at least googling, before heading into a
git bisect.

kirkwood_legacy_clk_init() provides a clock with the old name. When
using DT, the device has the name "f1050000.ehci" and it looks for a
clock called "f1050000.ehci ". The legacy clock is called
"orion-ehci.0", which is what is expected when using old style
platform drivers instantiated in C.
