In kernel 3.8, the initialization of the Tegra clock driver and the
processing of the "clock initialization table" were separate. The clock
driver used to be initialized in .init_early(), whereas the clock init
table was processed in .init_machine().

In 3.9, those two things have been conflated into .init_irq().

Is the solution here to separate those two initialization steps again;
leave the base clock driver init in .init_irq() since that's where it
needs to be for unrelated reasons, but move the processing of the clock
init table back into .init_machine() so that there are no restrictions
re: which clocks can actually be initialized?

That would probably require exposing some custom API from the Tegra clk
driver for the Tegra DT board file to call to process the clock init
table, but that should be pretty easy to do, and shouldn't cause any
scalability issues.

Perhaps that extra API can even be standardized later, along with some
way of representing the initial clock tree parenting/... setup in the
DT, and thus making it useful for any SoC.
