I should reword the commit description to be clearer, sorry about that: I
went with "exactly what I've done", but looking at the actual diff, it is
just a rename. What my brain was ticking on here was about removing clocks
that didn't really exist (uart_clk is not a fixed clock, etc), and adding
the ones that do exist.... but then again, the result, casually, is a rename.
In any case... no, these clocks are not board-specific for two reasons:
1. AFAIK, these fixed clock outputs are from the SoC itself, not from
external components placed on the board, and
2. Even if these were from external components, the SoC *needs* these
ones to work and any board that doesn't have these fixed XOs simply
wouldn't be able to work.
Cheers,
Angelo
