Hmm yes I guess the panda needs the aux clock and there are various
patches posted for that for quite a while but have not gotten merged.

When I did my patches it seemed that Nishant's and my solution for
getting the auxclk via DT was acceptable. Then Mike started doing
all the clocks in DT and things changed.

Mike, got any solution for us for v3.11 for the DT defined auxclk?

The ethernet issue can be fixed with the legacy mode support in the
worst case, but probably just adding a clock alias for it does the
trick.

I'd rather not postpone making omap4 DT only because I think at this
point fixing the any DT related issues is way less work compared to
maintaining and testing both legacy boot and DT boot.
