"but" what?

Yes:
#define CONFIG_MX25_CLK32		32000	/* OSC32K frequency */
#include <asm/arch/clock.h>
#define CONFIG_SYS_TIMER_RATE		MXC_CLK32

There has to be a way to make the inclusion of imx-regs.h work on mx27 like on
mx25. Also, imx27lite-common.h uses UART1_BASE from imx-regs.h, and it is very
dirty to use literal constants for CONFIG_SYS_TIMER_COUNTER instead of
definitions from imx-regs.h. The fix here should really be to make the inclusion
of imx-regs.h work on mx27.

Right. However, the only thing that asm/arch/clock.h does here is to define a
SoC-specific value with a default value. Converted to kconfig, that would just
give:

Kconfig file for i.MX25 SoC:
---
config MXC_CLK32
	int "32-kHz oscillator frequency"
	default 32768
	help
	  Exact frequency of the 32-kHz oscillator, expressed in Hz
---

Kconfig file for your generic timer base driver:
---
config SYS_TIMER_RATE
	int "System timer rate (Hz)"
	default MXC_CLK32 if MXC
---

Best regards,
Beno?t
