Hello Pali,

Sorry to not have pointed this earlier but I found something a little
unusual, see below:

I found unusual to have to enable the clock at device tree level.
Usually the clock driver is always loaded and then the clock is really
enabled or disabled through the clock framework.

I think you could remove the following line and thanks to this there
won't be any change in the dts of the board:
