Hi Konrad

Thanks for pointing this out.

I re-checked the schematic and confirmed that the Type-C0 retimer refclk
is provided by a board-level external XO/local XTAL, not by PMK/RPMH.
So RPMH_RF_CLK4 is not the correct clock source.

Since the binding requires a clock, I will model the board-level XO as a
fixed-clock and use it for the PS8830/PS8833 retimer node in v3.


Thanks,

XIN
