Not exactly for CONFIG_SYS_CLK_FREQ - but the TQM8xxL boards  contain
code to measure the input clock against the (known) 32kHz clock.

If you provide a suitable init fuction which sets the  value  in  the
global  data  section eraly enough, you can probably shortcut the use
of CONFIG_SYS_CLK_FREQ.
