Oh, good point. I'm usually focusing on AOSP, so I've not tried
booting from the uSD slot.

As for the  clk_ignore_unused, I've not seen it, but I'm usually
testing with a much larger patch stack targeting AOSP (only
occasionally trying with a smaller set to validate patches being
prepped for upstream).  So if you want to file a bug, please do so
here: https://bugs.96boards.org/

Appreciate your testing! Please do feel free to reach out/cc me if you
run into other issues.

thanks
