This sounds good. That way we could get rid of the imx_uart_clocks array
entirely.

Note that right below imx_register_uart_clocks() there is imx_clk_disable_uart()
which disables the previously enabled clocks again later when the real
driver has taken over. You'll have to change that as well accordingly.
