Correction:

Actually the SDC control register contains some more bits compared
to most other clock control registers:
CM_SDCCTL_CTRL (12-15), CM_SDCCTL_ACCPT(16) and CM_SDCCTL_UPDATE(17)

See also:
https://github.com/msperl/rpi-registers/blob/master/md/Region_CM.md#cm_sdcctl

If I poke that register (0x201011a8) from userspace with 0x5a000000
then the machine crashes as well - so I assume these bits control
the custom SD-Ram PLL - unfortunately it still does not say which
PLL is used.

Eric, you may have access to more data regarding this register -
maybe we need to hand this register as a special clock?
and/or expose it as an additional pll?

Note that I also tried disabling PLLD_CORE and the system crashed as well
(root@raspcm:~# peekpoke $[0x20101000 + 0x10c] w
/dev/mem opened.
Memory mapped at address 0xb6fdd000.
Value at address 0x2010110C (0xb6fdd10c): 0x20A
root@raspcm:~# peekpoke $[0x20101000 + 0x10c] w $[0x5a000000 + 0x20a + 32]
/dev/mem opened.
Memory mapped at address 0xb6fe7000.
Value at address 0x2010110C (0xb6fe710c): 0x20A
Written 0x5A00022A; readback 0x22A
root@raspcm:~# Write failed: Broken pipe

(requires /dev/mem without restrictions)

So this means that it is plld_core related - at least as of now
and the sdram pll currently derives from PLLD_core.

@Eric: so please look at the hld (which you have hinted you have
access to) and come up with something better for sdram

As far as I can tell at the very least the sdram clock is critical
and should be marked as such…

Martin
