I wouldn't call it a deficiency, but its by design due to need for 
registering clocks and clock providers hierarchically.

I guess it might be possible to re-work the TI clock init to check for 
the parent node, and if it is a clock provider, see if it has been 
initialized or not. The clock provider maps the IO range so it must be 
initialized before any clocks under it are initialized. I'll experiment 
with this a bit and see how it works out.
