    I looked at this a bit last week, but I didn't come up with any approach
    that I was happy with. It seems like it would be nice to just register
    the absolute minimum clocks needed. On DA8XX, that would just be the PLL0
    AUXCLK. On most of the other SoCs, it would be the PLL AUXCLK plus one
    LPSC clock. The AUXCLKs are easy because they are just a simple gate
    from the oscillator. The LPSC clocks are a bit more tricky because they
    have a complex sequence for turning on. Furthermore, on DM646X, we need
    the whole PLL up to SYSCLK3 plus one LPSC clock, so things get a bit
    messy there.

    The other approach I considered was to make the PLL and PSC drivers
    work as platform devices or pure clock devices so that when needed,
    the whole IP block could be registered in very early init. However,
    this approach will pretty much require massive changes to the drivers
    to remove all of the uses of devm_, dev_err, etc. so that it works
    when dev == NULL.

    Any other bright ideas or a preference for one of these two approaches?
