Famous last words ... some marketing executive will find a reason to
do so in the future ;).
On a more serious note, I have in the past worked as a freelancer on a
project where they used sim1 and sim2, albeit there was no
functionality implemented into the boot loader. So I reckon your clock
enable selection is fine as is.

Fair enough.
