Okok. I got confused since looking at the code factor clock is really
just a hack to handle both driver that use pxo_board and pxo cause from
what I notice it's the same clock with different naming.

Sooo keep using pxo_board with the fact that pxo is always present seems
to be redundant but if that's the pattern then I will just keep
pxo_board in .name where it's used.
