Hi,

I'd like to recommend this commit for stable v3.18 onwards:

commit c61f30a255550bbfc6b83c1ca720661489cac4c0
Author: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be>
Date:   Fri Dec 18 11:51:36 2015 +0100

    ARM: dts: armadillo800eva Correct extal1 frequency to 24 MHz


This change corrects an long-standing miss-match between the clock speed
specified in the kernel (DTS) and what is actually present in the hardware.
My understanding is that this can result in unexpected behaviour. I believe
Geert can provide more details if needed.

In my (un trusted) memory, the reason why board has 24MHz instead of 25MHz is that
HW people had noticed that 25MHz clock will be conflict/resonance with HDMI.
Thus they decided to use 24MHz instead. But some schematic is still indicating 25MHz.

It will cause dividers to be set up incorrectly in drivers, leading to e.g.
slightly off serial baud rates (measured).

Ah, you have schematics ;-)

That's plausible. All documentation I have says 24 MHz.
