This forces zynq to move some initialization our clock code relies on to
init_irq(). Also, the current code already takes an approach of
doing either common init or machine specific init.
I think it might be better to move the call to of_clk_init() down into
the else branch of the if-else.
Though, this probably contradicts the purpose of the whole series.
