Is there any reason why this uses CLK_OF_DECLARE over the
platform device model? Typically we have CLK_OF_DECLARE for cases
where a provider needs to be up and running early during boot for
hardware that can't probe defer (i.e. timers, irq controllers).
Otherwise we should be able to use the standard linux device
model to probe clk providers. It looks like the clocksource is
using something from CCU, but perhaps CGU isn't "special" and
could be using device model.
