And I need to access structs / defines which are defined in arch/arm.

Sure. The register definition was moved outside the driver into
arch/../include/asm. So I keep them within the driver and ifdef it.

This has been done. Patch 3/7 creates arch/x86/include/asm/pxa_i2c.h
which defines clk_get(). So it does not require special header files in 
regard to the clk api.

So I'm eliminating arch/./arm/inclide/asm/ files which I introduced.
