In this case, the ocp2scp IP is just the *bus controller* to access the
real USB_UTMI_PHY IP.

The TRM diagram does not show that level of detail unfortunately. You
can check the PRCM spec (Figure 78 : CD_L3_INIT_USB clock scheme) to see
the two modules.

So considering phy_48m as the main clock is still correct for the
ocp2scp IP.

The INIT_960M_FCLK will be a fck associated with the child of the
ocp2scp nodes which is the usb_phy.

Upgrading the opt_clk to fck does make sense as soon as we don't have
any other functional clock and as soon as this clock is *mandatory*. The
optional aspect in that case is just a wrong PRCM naming for a clock
that is mandatory. It is similar to the DSS case that does have only
optional clocks that are mandatory.

I do agree that we must stick to the HW definition as far as we can. But
the optional attribute is something that is wrong/inaccurate for a
couple of IPs. HW folks agreed on that point and will fix that in the
future.

Benoit
