Will do, I haven't submitted patches for a while totally forgot the
wrapping guidelines

Replacing uboot is fine for this case, however I can foresee that can
cause issues further down the line.


1. No uboot source from the vendor, we all know no everyone respects
code licencing

2. Secure environments (like android tables), this chipset will likely
end up in android tablets that have the secure boot chain enable.
These will be unable to replace uboot even if source is available.

As this SoC is new to the Linux kernel (not even useable for much it's
current state) would it not be better to aling on this so vendor and
mainline DTS "agree" now rather than possibly have to address is in
the future ?

I have also investigated setting these clock rates during kernel boot,
but the SoC locks up.
