I have trouble understanding this part:

> Beware, messing out with your clocks via sysfs without knowing what you are doing may permanently damage your device at the hardware level, so if you're clueless, don't mess around.

Anyway, very nice and informative article, thanks !

Thanks, it means what it means, it asserts a #define on clk.c whereby root will be able to do very stupid things with clocks...

Ok, but to me it seems to mean that the hardware may be permanently damaged (= a power cycle does not fix the issue) by a wrong clock setting, and I wonder why.
