No, because you directly hook into the syscon driver, rather than using a clock driver as the middle-man, see steps 2 and 3 below. > The problem is because of the SYSMGR_SDMMCGRP_CTRL_OFFSET define > in this file.

That driver should only know about the fact that it talks to a clock controller, not how it's implemented.
