Hi Stephen,

The problem with this would be that we need to obtain the CPU clock rate
fairly early during boot in order to set up the clocksource & delay loop
etc. Using CLK_OF_DECLARE allows for that but if this were a platform
driver my understanding is that the clocks wouldn't become available
until some point later in boot. If I'm wrong & there's a way to avoid
that please let me know.

Also: why? If CLK_OF_DECLARE isn't liked, shouldn't that be documented
somewhere (ideally next to the declaration of CLK_OF_DECLARE in
include/linux/clk-provider.h)?

Thanks,
    Paul
