This patch, which landed in linux-next as commit 6579c8d97ad7 ("clk: 
Mark fwnodes when their clock provider is added") causes the following 
NULL pointer dereference on Raspberry Pi 3b+ boards:

This patch mainly revealed that clk/bcm/clk-raspberrypi.c driver calls 
devm_of_clk_add_hw_provider(), with a device pointer, which has a NULL 
dev->of_node. I'm not sure if adding a check for a NULL np in 
of_clk_add_hw_provider() is a right fix, though.
