I assume you were able to successfully use the bridge on both boards, no?

It's already connected to an Xtal, according to schematic it's 26MHz. This is 
also what I configured in DT. So far I think this looks correct.

bad clock in the sense of badly configured or bad xtal hardware? As the bridge 
and the xtal is on the same mainboard, for now, I ignore wirings.
