Fabio,

Look, without the errata for this problem, your customer do not even
know what this patch is for.


Dirk,

Yes, it tries to fix the buggy ldb_di_ipu clock output which doesn't
have a gate between ldb_di_clk_sel and div_3.5_7.  That's also part of
the issues that ENGR00318063-x patches try to address.
