Forgot to mention this in the commit message:

All boards that need this fix (all of them?) should change their board config
header file to include this:

#define CONFIG_MX51_AVOID_PLL1

...

#ifdef CONFIG_MX51_AVOID_PLL1
#define CONFIG_SYS_CLKTL_CBCDR  0x59EC7580
#else
#define CONFIG_SYS_CLKTL_CBCDR	0x59E35100
#endif

This is the case for mx51evk.h, and the exact value of CONFIG_SYS_CLKTL_CBCDR
may vary depending on crystal frequency, type of RAM, NFC clocks, etc...

I would like to have some feedback before resubmitting the patch with the
amended commit message. I would also like to know whether I should include
another patch fixing all affected board-config headers? I guess this should be
decided by the respective maintainers, since this requires fixing the linux
kernel clock driver also...

Beste regards,
