Did you meet issue with fw_devlink disabled?

The change is not enough, you also need to handle
        ret = imx_lpcg_parse_clks_from_dt(pdev, np);                                                
        if (!ret)                                                                                   
                return 0;
->
        ret = imx_lpcg_parse_clks_from_dt(pdev, np);                                                
        if (!ret)                                                                                   
                return 0;
        if (ret == -EPROBE_DEFER)
                return ret;

Regards,
Peng.
