Ahha..Yes, got it. I tested this in next-20130212 with the maintainer's 
patch for broadcast, reverting one change "OF: convert devtree lock from 
rw_lock to raw spinlock" and
uart clock change. The system was booting but not reaching to login. I 
was assumign that it may be the issue with other reason as I saw the 
uart log.

After taking your patch for removing clock-freq and this patch, the 
system booted to login prompt means it is working fine.


So I was wrong when telling clock-frequency is required. Actually it 
should not be to work properly.
