Unfortunately, it is. This is an chicken-egg-problem here, no
DT clk-provider, no clocks properties..

While writing pinctrl-dove I was planing to enable it after
the clock provider but with Andrew pushing forward - for a good
reason - there comes the trouble ;)

I don't like the hack either but the clk-gate is there and
if I don't enable it pinctrl-dove will hang the SoC.

I have a clk-dove DT clk-provider in my pocket somewhere but
didn't find the time to prepare it for posting..
