We have already this mechanism - this is the goal of the mxc_get_clock()
function: a common way to get clocks for all i.MX processors.
We have for example MXC_CSPI_CLK (SPI), MXC_UART_CLK, and so on. The
line should become:

freq = mxc_get_clock(MXC_I2C_CLK)

and then each processor can return its own value. This already works for the other interfaces (FEC, UART, SPI,..)

We need only to extend the mxc_clock enumeration type. The
implementation of mxc_get_clock() is SOC specific.

Yes, it makes sense to change, check my proposal
