Thanks for testing

I'm a bit confused, there should be no difference in behaviour, and if
there was any difference I would expect the clock tree to be somewhat
different.

Could you still paste the clk_summary (and dmesg) output? Which UART
driver is being used?

Also, is there a way for me to test it somehow?

Thanks,
Maxime
