It was removed because some 5200 platform do not use USB and should not
enable the internal clock.  In general, it is not the kernel's job to configure
clocking and pin usage on the chip.  Instead, it should be set correctly
at power up by U-Boot.

However, if firmware *cannot* be changed, there is a workaround.
You can create a new platform specific board support file in
arch/powerpc/platforms/52xx/ that matches against your specific board
and performs the needed fixups.  An example of this is lite5200.c.  Many
lite5200 boards have older versions of U-Boot installed which does not
correctly configure clocks or port-config.  So, lite5200.c matches to
the board instead of mpc5200_simple.c so that the board specific fixups
can be performed easily.  You should do the same for your board.
