Sorry but, during the off-list discussion, you convinced me that it is OK to drop
their registration as long as we enable them on probe.

I've not seen the following reply in time before sending current series:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/6aa58497-9727-4601-b6eb-264c478997c3@xxxxxxxxxx/

Since this is blocking the patches for dispcc and dts for X1E80100, I
thought I'd just drop the clock as required from DT point of view.
But yeah, you're right, it breaks bindings ABI and that's wrong.

I agree.

Since I need to do this for the X1E80100, I'll probably do it for the
other two as well.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
