We have a single mod0 clock there today, but who knows what tomorrow brings,
arguably the 1wire clock is a mod0 clock too, so we already have 2 today.

Well AFAIK that is how it works.

No, just no, that goes against the whole design of how of-clocks work.

It is not doing the exact same thing, it is a platform driver, where as
the other code is an of_clk driver.

Well one reasons why clocks are instantiated the way they are is to have
them available as early as possible, which is really convenient and works
really well.
You are asking for a whole lot of stuff to be changed, arguably in a way
which makes it worse, just to save 47 lines of code...
