However, this duplicates the interface because we have a mxc_get_clk()
and a function names for each peripheral. We have then a plethora of new
functions, one for each peripheral, and all SOCs must implement them to
be consistent.

I prefer to have only one function, available for all SOCs. Everybody
who starts with a new iMX SOC then knows that he must implement
mxc_get_clk(), and that is all.

My preference goes to not add it.
