Looks like in my case FWNODE_FLAG_INITIALIZED is not set, because
drivers/clk/at91/sama5d2.c uses of_clk_add_hw_provider().

I tried it, didn't solve my boot problem. The following patch makes the
sama5d2_xplained boot again, even without the patch from [1]:
diff --git a/drivers/clk/clk.c b/drivers/clk/clk.c
