Yes, it can drift significantly from processor to processor. Do you agree that
this frequency is closer to what can be expected than 32768 Hz?
Like I said, I would have renamed the clock also but I opted to go the less
obtrusive route while still helping others that might think they can
reasonably use this clock in their design as a 32768 Hz clock source. Perhaps
my comment and selection of the approximate frequency is not the best (I'm
open for suggestions). However, I do think this change is an improvement and
clarifying change to what is currently present in the clock description.
