Yes, it seems to be aimed at the same issue. However, your fix in
bd516e38dd14 doesn't fix my specific issue, as we still don't get the
correct -EPROBE_DEFER error code for the logic in parent_ready() in
drivers/clk/clk.c to work.

I guess we could even revert your fix if we agree that ignoring the
return code here is the right thing to do? Attaching a dummy driver 
doesn't seem to be totally correct, as I think it isn't prohibited to
have both a CLK_OF_DECLARE clock controller and a real platform driver
for other uses attached to the same OF node. While I'm not aware of any
clock controllers where this would be the case, I have seen such
constructs with IRQ controllers.

Lucas
