Can you explain what is rationale behind this change ? Is it related to
suspend/resume ordering ?
Obviously it breaks the kernel/dtb compatibility. We should be moving
in opposite direction, i.e. completely remove the custom samsung fixed
rate clocks. I've tried to address this with patches [1], [2] but Tomasz
wasn't happy with them IIRC and I postponed work on that.
