Keep the clk API as a fundamental thing which should be initialized early so we don't have to invent new clk APIs to get around its unavailability.
What else are you aware of that is really needed early for clocks other than clockevent?
If nothing else we'd have to resolve all the device probe ordering issues (Grant's patches seem a bit stalled) and convert all the systems using the API to handle deferring probes until their clocks appear. Using an early initcall of some kind would help with that but it does seem like a lot of trouble and I'd expect it'll end up getting forced in on most systems anyway.
