For sun6i this is already doable. We just move the assignment from the
dmaengine node to the clock node.

For sun8i the default divider results in 300 MHz for AHB, which might
be too fast. And we can't do clock rate assignment yet. The clock
drivers need to be split out.

For sun9i it is already the default.
