Ok, I will reword this commit. Note that this bug can't be called a
regression. The tclk frequencies array was wrong from the beginning:

  97fa4cf4: clk: mvebu: add mvebu core clocks

The commit you pointed out simply moves the typo. I am not familiar
with the stable process but if needed I can provide a patch against
some stable branches.

Please let know how do you want handle this.
