in U-Boot you can write to registers by the mw command. A sequence of 
them in the bootcmd can do the clock setup. Or you add i2c support to 
U-Boot and it will do the initialisation for you. This works at least 
for ethernet on my board.

Of course you can do it from within l4linux but you need to expose the 
registers of the Clock Generator Block to l4linux. The main drawback of 
this solution is that this l4linux task can now modify the clocking of 
every other HW device even if it is caged in another l4-task.

Not yet. I noticed that feature was introduced first in the latest 
snapshot so I am still busy upgrading my workspace.
