Otherwise, the +default CPU clock value is set. + +Please make sure you understand what you are doing, and understand +the restrictions of your hardware (board, processor). For example, +ethernet will stop working for CPU clock frequencies below 25 MHz. + +Please note that the new clock-handling code is enabled if +CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT is defined. Since this mechanism supports +only MPC866 and newer CPUs, this constant MUST NOT be defined for +MPC823/850/860/862 series. The clock generation algorithm for older +chips is different and has not been implemented yet. If you need it, +your patch is welcome. |
