That won't cause any early binding if you drop the CLK_OF_DECLARE and
have only a regular platform driver,  which was what I've been
suggesting all along.

Depending on who you ask to, this might or might not be true. Mark
Rutland for example has been a strong opponent to that clock node. So
your it's-by-design argument is just flawed.

CLK_OF_DECLARE has been designed to be able to parse the DT early to
instantiate the early clocks. It doesn't do anything beyond that. The
clocks node has nothing to do with that whole discussion.

Not really. Some others clocks that can be probed by MFD are already
platform drivers.

What? It's exactly what your patch is doing. How is that more work?

And then you're talking about inconsistencies.... Having some of these
clocks and devices exposed through MFD and some others through clocks
is very consistent indeed.
