input to its own PLL to generate the clocks it needs internally.  All
the PCMCIA timing is handled by the SA1110 or PXA.

The reason that we need to tell the SA1111 PCMCIA device about the PXA
clock is not because the SA1111 uses it, but because the driver needs it
to work out the correct timing information to program the SA1110 or PXA
access times.

This means that the current driver structure does _not_ fit the DT model
at all - I hope that no one has plans to construct a DT model based on
the current code structure, because that would be totally wrong.

Thanks, the commit message is mostly fine, I think it ought to also
point out that it's used by the driver to derive the timing information,
and doesn't physically exist to the SA1111.
