No, Samuel is right, we should make them regular drivers as much as we
can.

The reason we had CLK_OF_DECLARE in the first place is that timers
usually have a parent clock, and you need the timers before the device
model is set up.

Fortunately for us, since the A20, the architected timers don't require
a parent clock from us, and we can thus boot up fine.

Since the dependencies are minimal, it should probe fairly early and
with the on-demand probing from the device links you might not even tell
the difference for most consumers.
