The other regular i.MXs should fit into this fine, they have the same
patterns. mxs is different though, instead of enable bits they have
disable bits and dividers are one based instead of zero. We can probably
extend the patterns to handle some additional flags, but I haven't
looked deeply into it.

It's a very late series from Jeremy, I don't know if it's exactly the
latest. I'll rebase it. Jeremys git tree is here:

git://kernel.ubuntu.com/jk/dt/linux-2.6.git

Should be, but it's the result of a long day, so I hesitate to say yes.
