raspberrypi_clk_probe():

        /*
         * We can be probed either through the an old-fashioned
         * platform device registration or through a DT node that is a
         * child of the firmware node. Handle both cases.
         */

So the real issue is rpi_register_clk_driver() creating a platform
device for the firmware clocks if they're missing in DT.

Then, the clock driver calls devm_of_clk_add_hw_provider(),
regardless of a DT node being present or not.
I'm wondering how power consumers are supposed to refer
to these firmware clocks, without a DT node?
