That makes sense. I just browsed through the code to see what other
boards do here. The serial driver for the MPC83xx SoC series directly
probes the clock driver (see get_serial_clock in
driver/clk/mpc83xx_clk.c called from the serial driver). Maybe we
should do something similar here?

Yes, it is very likely not going to be a problem, but if we can fix it
it would be great :)
