Then the question is: how much deviation from the expected value is allowed? I think there was another case where such range was checked and because the clock was just slightly more off, the probe failed because of that. I'd in that case check some fairly wide range, and print a warning if the frequency isn't in that range, but still proceed. It's generally impossible to set a precise limit on the tolerance. -- Sakari Ailus _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
