I have only been able to test this on an i.MX8M Mini.  I need to set
the parent clock of the i.MX8M Mini to an 80 MHz clock in order to run
the UART at 4Mbps.   With this patch, I can stop enabling the all the
UART clocks early and allow the clock parent configuration to occur.
From what I can tell, the remaining clocks should get activated as
they are needed, because I was able to use Bluetooth connected to
UART1 running at 4MBps using a 80MHz clock source with this patch, and
the clk_summary shows the clock is running at the proper speed.
Without this patch, the UART fails to re-parent, so I'm stuck at lower
speeds and that means choppy Bluetooth audio.

The Kernel that NXP hosts on Code Aurora that they use for Yocto
attempts scan through stdout to only enable those clocks [1].  I
attempted to push it upstream, but it was rejected [2].  Sascha
suggested creating an array which could be filled when the clocks are
enabled and that array would be used to deactivate the clocks at
shutdown.  That's what I attempted to do here.

I don't have older imx boards to know if their device trees are
configured in such a way without modifications to the device tree or
not, but since it appears to work for NXP in [2], I assumed it would
work here.

That makes sense.

The tables were hard-coded before, so the idea was to pass the maximum
number of clocks instead the entire table.  The higher-level clock
code wouldn't necessarily know the maximum number of UART clocks since
the number of UARTs may change depending on the SoC.  So that
hard-coded number was simply the number of entries that were
previously used in the array that was previously passed.  When
creating a table of active clocks, it could use the number passed to
define an array, and fill the array with data grabbed from of_stdout.

If you want, I could leave the existing UART clocks alone, and create
a new function that uses the array of clocks passed to it to count the
number of available clocks.  It would limit the scope of the change to
clk/imx/clk.c.  I think that would be easier than trying to parse the
DT for a bunch of compatible flags looking for a bunch of UARTS and
their respective clocks.

If you'd rather do something in the serial imx driver, I can hold off.

I added the #ifdef here because I got an e-mail from a bot from a
previous attempt.  The bot failed to build, because the build test
using a different defconfig file that doesn't enable CONFIG_OF.  For
the purposes of using this code, the CONFIG_OF is required, but
without changes to Kconfig, this seemed like an easy way to prevent
build errors for the bot.  I didn't want to break something else by
changing the Kconfig dependencies because I wasn't sure how many build
bots exist.
