This is a port of the official PLL errata workaround from Freescale to
mainline u-boot.
The PLL's in the i.MX51 processor can go out of lock due to a metastable
condition in an analog flip-flop when used at high frequencies.
This workaround implements an undocumented feature in the PLL (dither
mode), which causes the effect of this failure to be much lower (in terms
of frequency deviation), avoiding system failure, or at least decreasing
the likelihood of system failure.

Hi David,

do you have now also an official Errata number from Freescale to be
added to your documentation ?

Best regards,

Freescale promised an official errata a week ago, but released the errata just
yesterday (hadn't seen it until now).
The number is ENGcm12051.
Do you mind including it in the commit yourself, or do you want me to re-post?

Best regards,

Needless to say that this supersedes my patch sent back in May, 26th... which
btw did not help much, since _all_ PLL's are affected by this problem. Not
only PLL1.

Well, it is enough - I can include it in the commit message, if there
will be no further comments. From my point of view the patch is ok. The
fact that the patch can be disabled will probably increase the number of
testers.

Yes. I have set the old patch as superseeded in patchwork

+1.1 CONFIG_MX51_PLL_ERRATA: Workaround for i.MX51 PLL errata.

+    The PLL's in the i.MX51 processor can go out of lock due to a metastable
+    condition in an analog flip-flop when used at high frequencies.
+    This workaround implements an undocumented feature in the PLL (dither
+    mode), which causes the effect of this failure to be much lower (in terms
+    of frequency deviation), avoiding system failure, or at least decreasing
+    the likelihood of system failure.
