Right, like I said: the idea is to have it usable with DT. And USB and
Ethernet certainly are part of what I call usable. So is MMC, WLAN and
DSS. I've certainly spent quite a bit of time on making sure panda works
with DT, and I can assure you that fixing the USB extclock is easier than
supporting the legacy boot with DT :)

This issue can also be fixed with a clock alias if we don't have DT
defined clocks ready for v3.11. It may take a few days for us to have
the solution. But get getting a clock to a driver certainly is not a
showstopper here. After all, that's what all drivers already do.

Regards,

Tony
