Ah I misunderstood. CLK_OF_DECLARE() _always_ prevents the creation of a
struct device for the device node being handled. The 'sometimes' threw
me off.

How is this different from commit 3c9ea42802a1 ("clk: Mark fwnodes when
their clock provider is added/removed")? Do you have some user of
CLK_OF_DECLARE() that isn't registering an OF clk provider?
