Hmm, it brings VP2 in line with the other two VPs, only VP2 had this
special setting - even right from the start, so it could very well
have been left there accidentially during submission.

So in the end VP2 will have to deal with this, because when the VP
causes a rate change in the GPLL, this changes so many clocks of
other possibly running devices. Not only the uart, but also emmc
and many more. And all those devices do not like if their clock gets
changed under them I think.
