This commit updates the OSC_32K_CLK (secure_32k_clk_src_ck) frequency
from the precise 32kHz frequency (i.e., 32.768 kHz) to a more
accurate frequency of ~34.6 kHz. Actual measured frequencies of the
clock vary from processor to processor anywhere from 34.4 kHz up to
34.8 kHz. Note that the ~34 kHz frequency clock is generated
internally by the processor, not an input to the processor. This
change makes it more clear that the consumer of the
secure_32k_clk_src_ck will not get a precise 32.768 kHz frequency
output.

I still don't agree with this patch. The actual frequency can drift much more,
you are just seeing this number at your setup.

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.

Does a fixed divider calculation of input * (32768 / 0x27e6) make sense
here too as pointed out earlier by Matthijs for the ti81xx?

Not really, the hardware setup for this clock is not like that. Also, as it is security related, this is kind of sensitive area to discuss publicly. Personally I would not recommend using this clock for any timing sensitive applications. May I ask why you are interested in the exact clock rate of this clock anyway?
