We do the same for tegra124 but we just call it 'pll_p'.

Technically abstracting backup clock should be more correct, but result is the same in the end. Yes and that is probably intentional as that is the configuration that has been validated. So unless we are planning to test and verify every possibility, my preference is to keep it simple. But yes the result is the same. I was simply curious of your intention here because of the other series you posted with regard to the cpu clocks. Cheers Jon -- nvpublic
