Is the name of the clk "xo_clk_src"? That isn't the name that we were
expecting the XO clk from RPM to be called. You might have to look back
at the history of the rpm clk driver on the list and see when Georgi
dropped the XO clk from it and if there was anything wrong with that. I
can't recall if this was discussed on the list or if he just told me in
some hallway conversation at Connect.
