Marek, great! Can confirm that this patch (just to be sure attached 
complete below) does it's job.

My concern with the clock is, that what is done in u-boot seems to have 
an effect in linux/kernel too. Not all clocks seems to be reconfigured 
in kernel. I'll try the upcoming 2023.04 release next.

Again, big thanks.
