There are no Si issues with MX25 that would cause per_clk to not work. 

There are 2 possible clocking configurations and it is not tied to v1
vs. v2 timer hardware:
ipg_clk and per_clk are same clock source - MX1, MX21, MX31
per_clk is independent clock - every other i.MX chip

The correct setup is to use per_clk as ipg_clk can change frequencies
for bus scaling in the latter case.
