Ah, so that's how it works. And that's what "clock parent rework" refers
to! :)

Ok, so I'll try to come up with a new set of patches, and we'll see if
I'll get the description right.

Yeah.

Ok.

Hmm. Looks like the answer is no:

DCXO_CTRL_REG:
- OSC_CLK_SRC_SEL bit:
(Pad select)
Read/Write column contains 'U' not (R/W)

Ok.

thank you,
