Subject: Reduce ECP5 85 nest frequency to 75MHz
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9545d27f40963c577cde883b7fc33dac47b522f7;p=ls2.git

Reduce ECP5 85 nest frequency to 75MHz

This gets much closer to passing timing on the
-7 speed grade parts, and should pass timing
on the -8 speed grade parts.

Verified to boot correctly:
