For an AY-3-8910, the 2MHz is about supplying the clock for the PSG=E2=80=99=
s internal counters.  The bus interface is asynchronous with respect to =
the clock, and register updates do not beed to be made that frequently.

I assume the desire to use the GPCLK0 output is all about avoiding have =
to use a separate crystal.
