There are references to a Fbus2 clock in documentation, but I could not
find any actual documentation for its actual clock frequency, I would be
surprised if this chip would have diverged from the previous and future
ones and used a 40Mhz clock. 6345 started with a peripheral clock
running at 50Mhz, and that is true for all chips since then AFAICT.

I agree we would have noticed this with the UART or SPI controllers if
that was not true, so probably a code glitch here...
