PATCH 1/1 ARM: dts: at91: sama5d2: use the divided clock for SMC

The SAMA5D2 is different from SAMA5D3 and SAMA5D4, as there are two different clocks for the peripherals in the SoC. The Static Memory controller is connected to the divided master clock.

Unfortunately, the device tree does not correctly show this and uses the master clock directly. This clock is then used by the code for the NAND controller to calculate the timings for the controller, and we end up with slow NAND Flash access.

Fix the device tree, and the performance of Flash access is improved.

You will have to rebase on top of at91-dt. And if I'm not mistaken, this line should be:

+ clocks = <&pmc PMC_TYPE_CORE PMC_MCK2>;

I guess you're right but this will only reach mainline in 4.21. I get slow flash access with 4.19 as well...

After a second look, it looks like the SAMA5D4 is affected too.
