Any reason this can't be a platform driver?
Your question is that  why I don't use the platform_driver_register to
register  clk and use CLK_OF_DECLARE ?
Yes.

I was  consider other clock controllers of Loongson-2 series may be
different with 2k1000 and I can add a line

CLK_OF_DECLARE() for compatible other platform in the future. eg.

CLK_OF_DECLARE(loongson2_clk, "loongson,ls2k-clk", loongson2_clocks_init);

+  CLK_OF_DECLARE(xxx1, xxx2,  xxx3);  // for other clock controllers of
Loongson-2 series

For the compatible consideration of other clock controllers of
Loongson-2 series in the future, the way of using dts can be

better compatible.

Sorry that sentence doesn't make sense to me. The use of dts doesn't
require the use of CLK_OF_DECLARE.
yes, the use of dts doesn't require the use of CLK_OF_DECLARE and can
use platform_driver_register

but my drvier not use platform_driver_register to register  clk and use
CLK_OF_DECLARE to match of_clk_init.
of_clk_init() is there to register clks that are needed for early init,
i.e. the clockevent/clocksource or the root interrupt controller
(irqchip). Otherwise, it isn't necessary to register clks via
of_clk_init().
okay, I got it.
