You can store the cpu_clk / bus_clk in the global_data structure.

I don't see the need for #ifdef's.

I see no need that CONFIG_SYS_CLK_FREQ must be a constant. Instead of

	#define CONFIG_SYS_CLK_FREQ     33333333

you can - for example - use

	#define CONFIG_SYS_CLK_FREQ     my_function_to_read_clocks()

Best regards,
