This is the case after " clk: ast2600: fix reset settings for eclk and
vclk" is applied, correct? Without that patch applied the reset
sequence is correct by accident for the 2600, but it will be wrong for
the 2500?

I wasn't sure what you meant by "various shape of signature". Can you
elaborate, and/or share with us some examples of the signature?

The code change looks correct and should be applied to stable.
