OTOH by having those settings in device tree would ensure the clock tree is set correctly, regardless of the firmware. There is only one correct clock parent for these devices, so the kernel couldn't do any harm. I'd say it never worked in practice to rely on the bootloader to configure these things, and one could say the firmware has been broken in general with regards to this issue. -- Regards, Sylwester -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-samsung-soc" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
