I doubt that just rolling back the existing code works for the new
atomic change... I guess we have to really introduce a clk enable on
each register access, also for the new atomic code.

Not sure if we should fold this change in a existing commit or create a
new patch ontop of your changes. The latter is probably easier, but
creates a "window of brokenness" for i.MX 7 in git history. But then, I
don't really mind since it currently works more or less by chance...

I can prepare a patch.
