Just move EXTAL, PLL, and P1C from cpg_mssr_info.core_clks[] to
.early_core_clks[], and move OSTM[01] from .mod_clks[] to
.early_mod_clks[]?

Then the early init from CLK_OF_DECLARE() will just register the
early clocks, and cpg_mssr_probe() can take care of the remaining parts?

Does that make sense?

Thanks!
