No worries :)

I'm actually wondering if you didn't encounter two issues. What kernel
were you testing before? If it's older than today's next
(next-20221012), you're likely missing

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-clk/20221010-rpi-clk-fixes-again-v1-0-d87ba82ac404@cerno.tech/

Which is likely to be what fixed the clock scaling. And my patch only
fixed the warning. Could you test next-20221012? If I'm right, you
should only get the warning.

Yeah, it might, but as you said it's a separate discussion
