Since the MUX USI is per IP, I guess I shouldn't be concerned about this, right? I'm trying to find out if it's OK to reparent the MUX to OSCCLK in normal operation mode (not low power mode), in order to get the lowest possible operating clock for the USI IP. Would be great if the decision is backed up by some info from datasheet. Unfortunately the datasheet that I have access to it's not explicit.
