Adding your resources (clock, regulators, etc) incrementally and only
when the driver for the device that use these resources is available,
will only make adding support for a new platform slower IMHO since
there will be more patches to be posted, reviewed and merged.
So don't do that if you're worried about it then, provide the bits of DT
that hook everything up from the start or otherwise describe things as
being in use.
"Otherwise describe things as being in use" doesn't work for clocks for
example. And Mike already said he wasn't willing to add something like
an always-on DT property for clocks.
