 Interestingly, the auxiliar UART interrupts don't seem to be working very well.
 Also, is there another source 33 enabled?
+
+I have also noticed that the clock is running with the wrong frequency.
+Everything is about twice as slow. For example, `sleep 1` takes 2 seconds.
+So I assume the kernel thinks the clock goes faster than it actually does.
+
+The timer is at 50 KHz:
+
+    timebase-frequency = <50000>; /* 50 kHz */
+
+So, the frequency of this "clock" is done by using the "general" clock which
+goes at 50 MHz, and then using a simple counter that counts up to 1525, so the
+frequency is:
+
+    32786.88524590164 Hz
+
+Assuming that it actually works well. Let's try that and see if we can have a
+more realistic reading for the CLINT interrupt frequency.
