I don't think this can corrupt the stack. The caller puts a value in r0
that is unused by mx31_clocks_init. And given that all callers pass
26000000 there should happen nothing bad apart from a compiler warning.

So: the change is fine, IMHO the commit log shouldn't mention stack
corruption.

Best regards
Uwe
