So then should we replace all the osc_33m_clk names with osc_clk?
This patch only modifies one name and it looks like a clkdev
lookup is created that still has osc_33m_clk for the connection
name in drivers/clk/clk-ls1x.c, so merging it would mean things
break? I also wonder what the pin is actually called in the
datasheet, because that should be what the cpufreq driver uses in
clk_get() as the connection id. If that's osc_33m_clk then it's
better to leave it alone even if the frequency is different.
