The SK has two outputs, using VP0 and VP1, so the above kind of makes 
sense. Then again, setting up 4 clocks here really shouldn't break the 
SK, should it? The AM69 has 4 available VPs. How does one configure the 
clocks for a board that uses 4 VPs, or possibly a different selection of 
VPs?

I think the patch desc should explain why this doesn't work. Afaik, the 
dts is not wrong as such, but there's an underlying issue that breaks 
the clocking if all four clocks are set up here.

So, with the desc updated, as this fixes an issue and is not wrong:

But I also feel this is dodging a firmware (?) issue.
