This patch update the PLL4 frequency used on AV96 board,
with different of reference clock tree used on ST board,
this new setting allow to optimize the SDMMC frequency (50MHz vs 30Mz).

I don't know why the previous PLL4 frequency was chosen as a compromise
on reference clock-tree  (PLL4 is used by mostly all the peripheral,
with display and audio requirements).

Can you cross check the proposed clock tree and ack this patch
if these ST requirements are not applicable on AV96 board.

Anyway the code is correct.
