In the datasheet for the imxrt1050 the 24Mhz scaler output goes into the
normal prescaler.The width of the 24Mhz prescaler is only 4 bits it seems
to be meant to divide the 24Mhz to something more reasonable for the other
prescaler.
I would do something like this...

+     if (rate == 24000000UL) {
+             /* Set timer frequency if using 24M clock source */
+             if (prescaler > (GPT_PR_PRESCALER24M_MAX  <<  12) |
GPT_PR_PRESCALER_MAX)
+                     return -EINVAL;
+
+               /* Set 24M prescaler */
+               writel(( (prescaler >> 12) << GPT_PR_PRESCALER24M_SHIFT),
&regs->pr);
+               writel(( (prescaler & GPT_PR_PRESCALER_MASK) <<
GPT_PR_PRESCALER_SHIFT), &regs->pr);

Ideally we would have the lengths in bits for GPT_PR_PRESCALER_MASK to
replace the 12, but we can also do...

+     if (rate == 24000000UL) {
+             /* Set timer frequency if using 24M clock source */
+             if (prescaler > (GPT_PR_PRESCALER24M_MASK |
GPT_PR_PRESCALER_MAX))
+                     return -EINVAL;
+
+               /* Set 24M prescaler */
+               writel(prescaler , &regs->pr);

Side note while debugging this i added `KCFLAGS=-DDEBUG` and the boot would
hang with it but without it would boot normally. The cause for the hang is
this loop will never exit, not this only happens while booting u-boot and
not during the spl stage.

Sorry if im being dumb im new to this stuff and thanks for every one for
walking me through this.
