Are you actually testing burning fuses from the OS, or are you just
using the nvmem in "read-only" mode? From comments in the bindings, if
you're trying to burn the fuses then the clock is required. If things
are in read-only mode then the clock isn't required.

When I compare to the driver, it seems like the driver assumes that if
more than one memory region is provided then you must be supporting
burning fuses. The bindings agree that having 4 memory regions
specified means that the nvmem supports burning and 1 memory region
specified means read-only. The extra 3 memory regions in the nvmem are
all about fuse burning, I believe.

So maybe the right fix here is to just change your dts to specify one
memory region?
