PATCH 1/1 i.MX6: Ensure AHB clock is 132MHz in low freq boot mode

For low freq boot mode(ARM boot up with 396MHz), ROM will not set AHB clock to 132MHz, and the reset value of AHB divider is incorrect which will lead to wrong AHB rate, need to correct it. To enable low freq boot mode, need to set BOOT_CFG2[2] to high, tested on i.MX6Q/DL SabreSD board and i.MX6SL EVK board.

Your patch looks good, but please rebase it against the latest u-boot-imx tree because I sent a recent patch that sets vddsoc to 1.175V.

After doing so, you can add:

Looks good to me.

Are we sure that mxc_get_clock() returns *exactly* 396000000 ?

As far as I see, this depends firstly from MXC_HCLK, that can be configurable with CONFIG_SYS_MX6_HCLK and could have a different value from the default 24000000. I do not know if there is cases where CONFIG_SYS_MX6_HCLK is useful, no boards at the moment are setting it.

But the test requires that the computed frequency is exactly 396Mhz. Is this reliable or should we simply test if frequency is lower of a defined threshold ?

Best regards,
Stefano Babic
