Yes, it seems very much as if you were right again.
When using ips/ibp everything makes sense, and works.
Hm... so that means on MPC512x we should use mpc512x_find_ips_freq(),
while on MPC5200 we should use mpc52xx_find_ipb_freq() - but hey,
apart from the name these two functions are identical.
Grant - how would you like to see this handled? Should we merge these
two code-wise identical functions into one? What should be the name,
and in which file should we put it?
[We need this clock thing for "drivers/net/fs_enet/mii-fec.c"...]
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
