A search of the source code shows this:

File /temp/u-boot-83xx/include/configs/MPC8349EMDS.h
   332 2:#define OF_TBCLK		(bd->bi_busfreq / 4)
File /temp/u-boot-83xx/include/configs/MPC8349ITX.h

   587 2:#define OF_TBCLK		(MPC8XX_HZ / 16)

Let's ignore the stxxtc for now, whatever that is.

On the 83xx, get_tbclk() returns "(gd->bus_clk + 3L) / 4L".  On 85xx and 86xx, 
it does this:

	get_sys_info(&sys_info);
	return ((sys_info.freqSystemBus + 7L) / 8L);

sys_info.freqSystemBus can be any number of things (see get_sys_info).

Well, it looks like they COULD always contain the same value.

I think it's safe to say that *something* is redundant here, but I don't know 
yet what.  My vote would be for OF_TBCLK, though, if that works.

The only thing I know for sure is that all of this clock stuff is making me 
cuckoo.
