Yes, that's what I expected to see in v4 after the previous discussion. If
imx_register_uart_clocks() is an empty inline function, then the arrays
passed to it are unused and also get dropped by the compiler.

The question is whether the #ifdef check in the header to test for MODULE
(only calling it if this particular soc has a built-in clk driver,
which is sufficient)
or for IS_MODULE(CONFIG_MXC_CLK) (call it if _any_ clk driver is built-in
and the function exists, which leaves extra code in the driver but is a more
conventional check).
