As I mentioned before, this patch is now dropped. It is replaced with
a one-liner to avoid requesting "emi_slow" clock on i.mx8mq.

I agree with this approach in principle, but I'd rather focus this
series on adding i.MX8MQ support with least amount changes needed. I
have a separate series doing a bunch of devres related cleanup on this
driver, which I plan to submit once i.MX8MQ is supported and we can
(and I'd rather) address the problem there.

As a part of my refactoring changes I replaced all of that code with
devres, so it should already be addressed there.
