Thanks for your patch!

This change is not backwards compatible, as existing DTB files do not
have the "fck" clock.  So the driver has to keep on assuming the first
clock is the functional clock, and this patch is thus not needed nor
desired.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
