 peripheral clk doesn't work

Hi, Andi

According to Aisheng, I find that if the i2c clock rate is not assigned on MX8,
due to chip architecture, the default speed will be 0, it cause our i2c not work.
The judgment will be triggered easily. This is a special case for imx.

The log like this:
[    2.401402] imx-lpi2c 5a800000.i2c: use pio mode
[    2.419788] i2c i2c-4: clk_per rate is 0
[    2.423724] i2c i2c-4: clk_per rate is 0
[    2.444071] i2c i2c-4: clk_per rate is 0
[    2.448011] fxos8700_i2c 4-001e: Error reading chip id

[    2.459271] i2c i2c-4: supply vdd not found, using dummy regulator
[    2.465522] i2c i2c-4: supply vddio not found, using dummy regulator
[    2.471913] i2c i2c-4: clk_per rate is 0
[    2.475867] fxas21002c_i2c: probe of 4-0020 failed with error -22
[    2.482066] i2c i2c-4: clk_per rate is 0
[    2.495716] i2c i2c-4: clk_per rate is 0
[    2.505464] i2c i2c-4: clk_per rate is 0
[    2.514786] i2c i2c-4: LPI2C adapter registered

So the patch can not be dropped.
