 Replying to [comment:2 sebastian.huber]:
 > The psim BSP uses the same clock driver and here the test works.

 I just tried to reproduce ''spnsext01'' failing on the MVME3100 a few
 times and wasn't successful... Maybe I was wrong about it failing, but I
 think I may just have got lucky (or unlucky) before.

 My test does fail on the psim:
