After taking a closer look at what should be modified, I think it's
worth it: there's only 5 impacted files (at91sam9260.c, at91sam9261.c,
at91sam9263.c, at91sam9rl.c and at91sam9g45.c) and adding a clk_lookup
entry is pretty easy.

Moreover we'll end up with a clean driver and won't have to bother
about cleaning it up when dropping non DT boards support.
