When driver is built as module and DT node contains clocks compatible
(e.g. "samsung,s2mps11-clk"), the module will not be autoloaded because
module aliases won't match.
The modalias from uevent: of:NclocksT<NULL>Csamsung,s2mps11-clk
The modalias from driver: platform:s2mps11-clk
The devices are instantiated by parent's MFD. However both Device Tree
bindings and parent define the compatible for clocks devices. In case
of module matching this DT compatible will be used.
The issue will not happen if this is a built-in (no need for module
matching) or when clocks DT node does not contain compatible (not
correct from bindings perspective but working for driver).
Note when backporting to stable kernels: adjust the list of device ID
entries.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
