I encourage this too, as looking at the patches the authors of the drivers could
have provided input and avoided some confusion. For instance I have concerns
about the pinmux patch. Also, I feel like we could also try to hash out a general
solution to the LCLK issue rather than burdening each LPC driver with enabling
it.
