Oh, I think you misunderstood it. Patch 1 (clock driver patch) does not cause the
clock tree crash without the patch 2 (dts patch), and it just provides the correct
flow of how to change the PLL0 rate. The patch 2 is to set the clock rate of
cpu_core and PLL0 rate, which causes the crash without patch 1. Setting cpu_core
rate is to avoid crashes by insufficient cpu voltage when setting PLL0 rate.
