+Subject: [PATCH] mpc85xx: add mpic timer clock frequency
+
+MPIC timers are enabled in the config, however a devicetree clock setting
+is missing causing the following error:
+/soc@ffe00000/timer@41100: cannot get timer frequency.
+/soc@ffe00000/timer@42100: cannot get timer frequency.
+
+This patch adds the missing clock and avoids the error.
+It's a functional copy of this code
+do_fixup_by_compat_u32(blob, "fsl,mpic",
+	"clock-frequency", get_bus_freq(0), 1);
+in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc85xx/fdt.c in the u-boot code.
