Ok.

Regarding the clks, i think the management of the ipg clk in the
driver is useless
has it is already handled by the imx clk driver.

I remove the ipg clk and test it on i.MX6Q.

My test is limited to disabled the GPT and enabled the EPIT in the device-tree
&gpt {
        status = "disabled";
};

&epit1 {
        status = "okay";
};
