What else are you aware of that is really needed early for clocks other
than clockevent?

TWD will lose its auto-calibration.  Then there's various clock source
and clock event implementations.  These all call for the clk API to be
up and running at init_early time.

If we can't initialize those later on, then it sounds like some clocks
and some parts of the clock fwk code needs to be static.

However, we could still make big chunks of the clock framework into a
regular device driver for allocating non-static clocks, debugfs interface
and so on.
