Looks like I initially confused this case with getting orphaned clock.
I'm now seeing that the DFLL driver registers the clock and then
clk_get(dfll) should be returning EPROBE_DEFER until DFLL driver is
probed, hence everything should be fine as-is and there is no real need
for the 'device link'. Sorry for the confusion!

Okay.

The CPUFreq driver switches parent to PLLP during the probe, similar
should be done on suspend.

I'm also wondering if it's always safe to switch to PLLP in the probe.
If CPU is running on a lower freq than PLLP, then some other more
appropriate intermediate parent should be selected.
