I ended up disabling all affected unit tests for arm64. I'll do the same
for other architectures if I encounter the problem there as well.

Unfortunately that includes all clock unit tests because the tests requiring
devicetree support can not be enabled/disabled separately, but that can't be
helped and is still better than "mandatory" failures.
