Pixel clock is the rate at which pixels are processed. I don't see it only meaning a clock that's related to actual video signal going out of OMAP. So if in normal case the scaler outputs pixels at the rate of pixel clock, we can call it pixel clock with WB's case also, instead of renaming it to output clock. Or was there some other reason for the rename, that I missed? Tomi
