How come? I kept this:

+             info->clock_speed = clk_get_rate(info->clk) / 1000000;

No. Device tree is an ABI, and you can't just add mandatory properties.

There's no DTS for OLPC XO-1 either; it's an OpenFirmware machine.
You'd need to update all machines in the wild which is not realistic.

Alternatively, something else than DT could provide the clock. If this
gets in, then the OLPC would work even without the xclk patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181105073054.24407-12-lkundrak@v3.sk/

(I just got a kbuild failure message, so I'll surely be following up
with a v2.)

Yes.
