Hi Krzysztof,

Sorry, probably I missed your comments (too many patches to handle at
one time :-))...

Could we use it as a default clock-frequency?

I understand it sounds generic but I try to be as much compatible with NPCM7XX

will remove in both places in V3

 "+             cpu0: cpu@0 {

Why do you have two address cells? A bit more complicated and not
necessary, I think."
the arm,cortex-a35 is 64 Bit this is why we use  #address-cells = <2>;
and therefore reg = <0x0 0x0>;

Again sorry to miss these comments in V1.

Appreciate your time.

Best regards,
