+// By default, clk_peri (which drives the serial parts of SPI and UART) is
+// attached directly to clk_sys, so varies if the system clock is scaled up
+// and down. clk_peri has a multiplexer (though no divider) which allows it to
+// be attached to other sources.
+//
+// If set_sys_clock_khz is called (here setting the system clock to 133 MHz),
+// this automatically attaches clk_peri to the USB PLL, which by default we run
+// at 48 MHz. As long as you call this *before* configuring your UART etc, the
+// UART baud rate will then not be affected by subsequent changes to clk_sys.
+//
+// However, dropping clk_peri to 48 MHz limits the maximum serial frequencies
+// that can be attained by UART and particularly SPI. This example shows how
+// clk_peri can be attached directly to the system PLL, and the clk_sys
+// divider can then be varied to scale the system (CPUs, DMA, bus fabric etc)
+// frequency up and down whilst keeping clk_peri at a constant 133 MHz.
+//
+// The complete list of clock sources available on clk_peri can be found in
+// hardware/regs/clocks.h:
+//
+// Field       : CLOCKS_CLK_PERI_CTRL_AUXSRC
+//               0x0 -> clk_sys
+//               0x1 -> clksrc_pll_sys
+//               0x2 -> clksrc_pll_usb
+//               0x3 -> rosc_clksrc_ph
+//               0x4 -> xosc_clksrc
+//               0x5 -> clksrc_gpin0
