D'oh! Again!

But to be honest, I think there misleading code is that exynos-clkout
(so the child) has:
.of_match_table = exynos_clkout_ids,

So one really can believe that this driver matches to exynos_clkout_ids,
which are the same as exynos-pmu (parent).

I think we should drop the of_match_table and rely on driver name
matching (MFD cell) or platform_device_id.

This patch is correct, so above solution could be added as 2 patch.

Thanks for noticing it.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
