That doesn't prevent anything, since you could very well use a recent 
kernel with an older device tree.

Besides, the PM does say that 50 MHz bus clock is supported, so I 
suspect that your problem is actually a driver issue.

The proper way to work around it, temporarily or not, would be to set 
the max frequency to 25 MHz in the driver itself, if the board's 
compatible strings matches ingenic,ci20.

Cheers,
