Personally I would not recommend using this clock for any timing sensitive

clock anyway?

I'm not interested in using this clock and I'm not sure how anyone would use
this clock outside of the processor. See the inline comment that is part of
the change and the commit message for the change. There is no hint in my
change that this is an exact clock rate. It is a clarifying change to help
others avoid using this clock as a 32 kHz clock (which the current clock name
and frequency imply) and it more accurately represents the actual hardware
behavior.


Imo, if you want to clarify things up, the whole secure_32k_ck should be removed from linux kernel.
