In chapter 'Advisory 2.1 USB Host Clock Drift Causes USB Spec Non-compliance in 
Certain Configurations' of the TI Errata it is recommended to use certain

So far u-boot used the old 34xx values, so I added the errata recommended 
values specificly for 36xx init only.
Also, the FSEL registers exist no longer, so removed them from init.

Tested this on a AM3703 board with 19.2MHz oscillator, which previously couldnt 
lock the dpll5 (kernel complained). As a consequence the EHCI USB port wasnt 
usable in U-Boot and kernel. With this patch, kernel panics disappear and USB 
working fine in u-boot and kernel.

While this patch works with Linux that has been patched for this
erratum, it will cause problems with some unpatched versions of
Linux.
Right.  So Linux also needs to be patched for the erratum.

Yes. My point was that if you update u-boot alone, then try to use it to boot an unpatched Linux that assumes CM_CLKSEL5_PLL has its power-on value, USB will not work.

I think it's dangerous to assume that the mixture of an unpatched Linux with a patched u-boot will never occur, and the cause of the failure that results is pretty subtle. So whatever gets merged would be safer if it restored the default setting of CM_CLKSEL5_PLL prior to handing off control to Linux.
