IIRC, this was the only way to allow circular clock routing. E.g. there
are use-cases that route an FCLK back into the PS to use it as input for
the GEM. With the introduction of deferred probing this might all be
possible now but it would be good to verify that this kind of circular
clock routing still works with this change.
