Looking at that you shouldn't need

+       clk_dm(IMX8MQ_CLK_25M, clk_register_fixed_rate(NULL, 
"clock-osc-25m", 25000000));
+       clk_dm(IMX8MQ_CLK_25M, clk_register_fixed_rate(NULL, 
"clock-osc-27m", 27000000));

Those get correctly probed by the clock-controller.

The rest of it looks OK and could be a follow on patch to the clock 
driver,

If that "fixes" it then it means that the parent IMX8MQ_SYS1_PLL_80M 
clock rate is getting changed by the uart3 stanza.

Are you using the mainline devicetree file for your board ? If not could 
you provide a link ?
