Hm, this seems to be a common problem. grep for prescale in the pwm
drivers. It seems several drivers iterate over the possible prescalers
to find the best values. Maybe it's time to add some helper function
for this task?

I didn't mean you should implement the PWM internal mux as clocks. This
is completely driver internal and it's not necessary to make them real
clocks.

Yes, indeed. This way we do not rely on hardcoded values for ckil. ckil
is 32000Hz on some (admittedly older) SoCs.
So my suggestion is: Add ckil lookup to the pwm nodes of imx6qdl.dtsi,
do a clk_get(dev, "ckil") in the driver and use it when available.
