Different people try to fix the problem in different ways.

I think it is due to miscommunication across sub-systems.

This does not break your board.
However, it is not helpful any more.

I already fix the Denali driver
to use the hard-coded clock frequency
if the old binding is used.


BTW, Marek issued Reviewed-by to this patch.

Xilinx?

Do you mean Altera (Intel)?
