I checked the dtsi files for all the boards that use the compatible
strings from the serial_mxc and see that there are always 2 clocks:
'ipg' and 'per'.
The imx8 dtsi files describe ipg and per always the same clock.
The imx7 dtsi files descibe ipg and per always the same clock.
The imx6 dtsi files describe ipg and per are 2 different clocks
The imx51 dtsi files describeipg and per are 2 different clocks
So I'm not sure if the ipg clock is the right one for the boards that
has different clock for ipg and per.

I do not understand what you mean with that.

You mean when DM clocks are available the "new" method should be used
and no fallback to the old mechanism?
