Those SoCs can still implement CONFIG_DEBUG_LL and just skip the
initialization step.

If clk turns out to be not enabled, system would hang on e.g. i.MX.
This is a mere debugging measure for SoCs with complex clock controllers
backed by firmware, so I think having to enable CONFIG_DEBUG_LL to use
is acceptable.
