Yes. My point was that if you update u-boot alone, then try to use it
to boot an unpatched Linux that assumes CM_CLKSEL5_PLL has its power-on
value, USB will not work.
I think it's dangerous to assume that the mixture of an unpatched Linux
with a patched u-boot will never occur, and the cause of the failure
that results is pretty subtle. So whatever gets merged would be safer
if it restored the default setting of CM_CLKSEL5_PLL prior to handing
off control to Linux.
