You can register a clk provider for the same node more than once. The first "early" one can return an error pointer for the clk indices that will be registered later. The second onecell data can be registered in the regular driver probe and return the clks that are registered later. See of_clk_get_hw_from_clkspec() and how it keeps trying to find a clk if the provider that matches the node didn't return a valid pointer. > > > > The reason we store the whole of priv: simpler code and we avoid mapping > > registers twice (once at eqc_init() and once at eqc_probe()). The IO mapping code handles duplicate mappings internally by returning the previous virtual address.

Please do it!
