This works probably because the clk driver is using CLK_OF_DECLARE, which
does not use the device model (i.e. no attached struct dev). So later on,
when the device model scans and adds this device, it's considered not
probed yet, and the drm driver will probe.

This breaks horribly if you try to move the clk driver to a platform
device driver based implementation. On the other hand, if you need the
clk in early init, you can't use a platform or mfd device.
