Okay, the results are in and they are mixed. Firstly the clocks register
unlike before. This is a positive step that was certianly expected.

Second the reported and measured clock frequencies do not match the
device tree entries.

Measured frequencies:
clk0 12.5Mhz
clk1 5.357Mhz
clk2 0 Hz

Lastly if #define DEBUG is added the behavior is different.

It should be noted that if I program the device's register map in the
bootloader the device keeps the correct frequency outputs.

So the patch series appears to fix the registration issue but there is still
more work to be done.

Still not sure how to explain the difference when DEBUG is defined.
I will dig into the datasheet and see what I can find.
