The i.MX LPI2C needs PER and IPG clock, not just PER or IPG clock.
This patch is to enable both PER and IPG clock for imx-i2c-lpi2c.

This patchset breaks the ABI and is not bisectable. The justification is very
limited (one sentence), so not really enough.

ARM32 i.MX7ULP and ARM64 i.MX8QXP/i.MX8ULP all need to use two
clocks, PER and IPG. But current dt-bindings and dts, use one clock.

This patchset includes dts changes patch 4 and patch 5.
Patch 6 is to update driver use two clocks.

I think the patch order in this patchset would not break git bisect, it
just break ABI. But I not find good way how could not break ABI,
because only use one clock is wrong whether in dt-bindings or dtbs.

Should I use a fixes tag to dt-bindings, then break ABI is allowed?

Thanks,
Peng.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
