OK, I can boot to the initramfs with this kernel parameter, but it
fails to boot, when I change the uart clock. I suppose that PERI_UART3
for debug port uart3 should be fine, but it looks like it doesn't
work.
I can see on the mt6589 datasheet that you have a register
PERI_UART_CK_SOURCE_SEL where you can decide if you want a 26 MHz or a
52 MHz clock for the UART block.
Does this register exists on mt8135? If so, why is it not implemented?
