No, I meant you mix init ordering: you depend now on syscon earlier
initcall than CLK_OF_DECLARE. Do you remember which one is first? If
anything changes here, your driver is broken. There is no dependency, no
probe deferral.

No, I meant you cannot. If you want to use syscon, then your driver
should be a proper driver. Therefore add a driver.

The one coming not from initcalls but driver model.
