None of what you're doing guarantees what you state above, so I'm not
really sure what your point is.

Yes, but it works by accident. Any clock change somewhere in the same
clock-tree might break whatever you have set in the DT.

Hence why you want to do it within the clock framework and your
driver, not here.
