Hello,

I've seen all your comments, thanks for that. I have a follow up about
one:

I've been trying to do that but I had a stall at boot. I initially
associated it with the UART driver acquiring a clock too early but
instead it is the CPU timer clocksource driver that consumes one of our
clock way earlier than any platform driver initialisation.

The clocksource driver we are talking about is this one for reference:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.6.8/source/drivers/clocksource/mips-gic-timer.c

Its usage of TIMER_OF_DECLARE means it gets probed by timer_probe ->
plat_time_init -> time_init -> start_kernel. This is way before any
initcalls. Our prior use of CLK_OF_DECLARE_DRIVER meant that we got
probed by of_clk_init -> plat_time_init.

I'm guessing we are not the first one in this situation; any advice on
how to deal with it?

Thanks,
