Hmm, yes, this fixes a pretty serious problem. There is a companion
commit [1] already in Linus' tree, more details can be found there.

Perhaps something like this could be added:

"Otherwise the FIMC-IS Cortex-A5 core and AXI bus clocks have
incorrect frequencies, which breaks the ISP operation and starting
the video pipeline fails with timeouts reported by the FIMC-IS
firmware.

See related commit 722a860ecb29aa34ec6f7d7f32b949209e8
"[media] exynos4-is: Fix FIMC-IS clocks initialization" for more
details."
