"bdinfo" indeed should include major clock information, but does not
necissarily print all relevant data on a specific SoC.

Correct.  There are already several such implementations (in
arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc512x/speed.c and
arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/speed.c), now it is high time to turn this
into a generic command that can be used by everyone.
