Even  with changing ATF and mv_ddr to use 325000000 I still end up with 
the garbled output when the driver starts. I don't know if there's 
something special about the fact I have a RD-AC5X-SR2 board. As far as I 
know the only difference with the SR2 board was an increased DDR size.

Did you get that the right way round? The ac5-98dx25xx.dtsi is AC5 so if 
what you have written is correct shouldn't the cnm clock-frequency in 
ac5-98dx25xx.dtsi be 328MHz and the ac5-98dx35xx.dtsi (which is AC5X) 
override this to 325MHz?

Elad, can you shine any light on this?
