The current implementation allows the user to specify the desired CPU clock value, in MHz, via an environment variable "cpuclk". Three compile-time constants are used: CFG_866_OSCCLK - input quartz clock CFG_866_CPUCLK_MIN - minimum allowed CPU clock CFG_866_CPUCLK_MAX - maximum allowed CPU clock CFG_866_CPUCLK_DEFAULT - default CPU clock value If the "cpuclk" environment variable value is within the CPUCLK_MIN / CPUCLK_MAX limits, the specified value is used. Otherwise, the default CPU clock value is set. Please note that for now the new clock-handling code has been enabled for the TQM866M board only, even though it should be pretty much common for other MPC859 / MPC866 based boards also. Our intention here was to move in small steps and not to break the existing code for other boards.
