Okay right, according to the datasheet (Figure 27.1 SCKC Block
Diagram) you don't need that crystal, you can clear TD_OSCSEL and
td_slck runs from the internal rc then.  However, td_slck is always
present, it either sources from the internal slow rc oscillator or the
crystal oscillator.  And the datasheet says in section 29.1 (PMC):

    "The Slow Clock Controller (SCKC) selects the source of TD_SLCK
    (drives the real-time part (RTT/RTC)).  The source of MD_SLCK
    (drives the rest of the system controller: wake-up logic,
    watchdog, PMC, etc.) is always the slow RC oscillator."

md_slck and td_slck are both registered by the at91 sckc driver, and
the td_slck gets two parents in of_sam9x60_sckc_setup() when
registered by at91_clk_register_sam9x5_slow().  The parent can be
switched by clk_sam9x5_slow_set_parent() from sam9x5_slow_ops then,
correctly setting the OSCSEL bit.

The whole idea of the patch is giving the rtc/rtt td_slck as a parent
as documented in the datasheet.  I don't see how this should be
affected by the parents of td_slck?  Am I missing something?

When sourced from the internal rc oscillator, this would mean the
output would be incorrect, right?  How could one prove this?
