I'm not sure I understand this patch. Now that common clock framework
is available for STI platforms, why would the emi clock ever not be available?

If it is to maintain DT compatability then we are already breaking this with the
syscfg 'reg' DT changes which are coming up, and this was deemed OK as the platform
is WIP.

IMO keeping this legacy code which assumes the bootloader / JTAG has enabled and configured
the emi clock correctly is not worth it now that CCF is available for the platform.

If a clock has been provided and we fail to enable it, then surely that is game over?

As the code currently is it then goes onto assume in stfsm_set_freq() that the rate
is STFSM_DEFAULT_EMI_FREQ which can't be true if it can't enable the clock.

Peter.
