What I meant is that the framework works fine if you first register a child clock that refers to a not yet registered parent, and then register the parent. The registration need not be strictly ordered. > The reason for this ordering is that the clock gates depend on core > clocks. It is always that way, so merging both init functions isn't > that odd. If your only dependency is the parent name, and you can use DT or something else to get it, then you don't need to enforce an order. >>> Anyway, with v3.14 for MVEBU SoCs, the clock gating driver gets >>> registered before core clocks driver.

After looking at some of the armada*.dtsi, I see you don't list the clock names on the coreclk node, so of_clk_get_parent_name may not be of much value after all.
