+    AR7: prevent race between clocks and devices initialization
+    
+    ar7_clocks_init and ar7_register_devices are both called at arch_initcall
+    however, ar7_register_devices relies on clocks to be initialized, and clock.o
+    is to be linked later. Fix this by making clock.o be linked earlier.
