Hmm no, I didn't do anything else than adding it to the DT in the first
place, hoping that a driver will pick it up and add the clock for me.
But it turns out that of_clk_init() is not called at all on my platform.

I'm doing this now from omap_generic_init() and it works. If that's an
appropriate place to call it, I can provide a patch.


Thanks,
Daniel
