Hi Tudor,

Thanks for looking into this.

I already accounted for early clocks like this when I designed
fw_devlink. Each driver shouldn't need to set OF_POPULATED.
drivers/clk/clk.c already does this for you.

I think the problem is that your driver is using
CLK_OF_DECLARE_DRIVER() instead of CLK_OF_DECLARE(). The comments for
CLK_OF_DECLARE_DRIVER() says:
/*
 * Use this macro when you have a driver that requires two initialization
 * routines, one at of_clk_init(), and one at platform device probe
 */

In your case, you are explicitly NOT having a driver bind to this
clock later. So you shouldn't be using CLK_OF_DECLARE() instead.

Thanks,
Saravana
