@Bryan and others, sorry, I am just trying to understand the exact ask 
here. Just to add a bit more detail here, On certain architectures, 
there is one CAMNOC module that connects all of the camera modules (RT 
and NRT) to MMNOC. In these, there is one 'camnoc_axi' clock that needs 
to be enabled for it's operation. However, on the newer architectures, 
this single CAMNOC is split into two, one for RT modules (TFEs and IFE 
Lites) and the other for NRT (IPE and OFE). So, on a given architecture, 
we either require 'camnoc_axi' or 'camnoc_rt_axi' for RT operation, not 
both. And yes, one of them is a must. As you know, adding the support 
for the newer clock in "vfe_match_clock_names" will only enable the 
newer chip sets to define this in it's resource information and set the 
rate to it based on the pixel clock. In kaanapali vfe resources, we do 
not give the 'camnoc_axi_clk'. Hopefully we are all on the same page 
now, is it the suggestion to use 'camnoc_axi_clk' name for 
CAM_CC_CAMNOC_RT_AXI_CLK ? We thought it would be clearer to use the 
name the matches the exact clock. Please advise and thank you.
