Apologies for the typo. When the AXI4 interface is enabled, it uses s_axi4_aclk, and 
when the AXI4-Lite interface is enabled, it uses s_axi_aclk.

In my next series I will update my commit message & change the clock-names 
's_axi4_aclk', 's_axi_aclk' & 'ext_spi_clk' to 'axi4', 'axi' & 'ref' respectively
