Sorry, you're right, I misread the errors.

Yes, that's a valid concern. I must have misunderstood the discussion in v1
then.

So, I'm going to send a revert for this change and send a new patch adding fixed
clocks on the dts for just mt8192 and mt8195 to fix the dtbs_check warnings.
Does that sound good?
