Yeah, I noticed that, too.
It just adds the same xlate method and data pointer to the list.
So it's harmless, but unneeded.

It's using CLK_OF_DECLARE_DRIVER(), which clears OF_POPULATED:

    /*
     * Use this macro when you have a driver that requires two initialization
     * routines, one at of_clk_init(), and one at platform device probe
     */
    #define CLK_OF_DECLARE_DRIVER(name, compat, fn) \
            static void __init name##_of_clk_init_driver(struct
device_node *np) \
            {                                                               \
                    of_node_clear_flag(np, OF_POPULATED);                   \
                    fn(np);                                                 \
            }                                                               \
            OF_DECLARE_1(clk, name, compat, name##_of_clk_init_driver)

Sorry for failing to tell you. I did know about that flag, but only remembered
due to your problem report.
