Not easy to find :)

The removed test run into:

	clocks = <&si5351 2>, <&si5351 2>;
	clock-names = "internal", "extclk";

where it seems that the user really wanted to make a mistake.
Then, the actual code just wants the si5351 2 to work as the internal
clock, and that cannot be.

Also, about errors, you may see that a `normal` error as:

	clocks = <&si5351 2>, <&gate_clk 13>;
	clock-names = "internal", "extclk";

i.e. inversion of the internal and external clock phandle's, cannot be
detected...

So, it is better to remove the useless test.
