Some clocks must be registered before init calls. For example MCT clock (from CMU_PERI) is needed for MCT timer driver, which is registered with TIMER_OF_DECLARE(). By the time we get to core_initcall() used for clk-exynos850 platform driver init, it's already too late. Inability to get "mct" clock in MCT driver leads to kernel panic, as functions registered with *_OF_DECLARE() can't do deferred calls. MCT timer driver can't be fixed either, as it's acting as a clock source and it's essential to register it in start_kernel() -> time_init(). Let's register CMU_PERI clocks early, using CLK_OF_DECLARE_DRIVER(), and do all stuff relying on "struct dev" object (like runtime PM and enabling bus clock) later in platform driver probe. Basically CLK_OF_DECLARE_DRIVER() matches CMU compatible, but clears OF_POPULATED flag, which allows the same device to be matched again later. Similar issue was discussed at [1] and addressed in commit 1f7db7bbf031 ("clk: renesas: cpg-mssr: Add early clock support"), as well as in drivers/clk/mediatek/clk-mt2712.c.
