Thanks. As I remember it, it was a user-config option for early T30
boards to run at 216MHz or 408MHz. The 408MHz PLLP change generated a
lot of email traffic on what the best output clocks (pllp_out1 thru 4)
would be for the various periphs, subclocks, etc.

When I did the original bringup for upstream U-Boot on my (older)
Cardhu, I wanted to start at 216MHz first, then step up to 408MHz when
I was at a stable point. Much like when I rebuilt my Mustang - I took
it out around the block first, to be sure everything was working OK
before I took it on the highway ;)

I'm running OK at 408MHz on my Cardhu T33. I'll resubmit V3 of the
patchset in the next day or so.

Thanks,

Tom
