I do not agree here. This configuration is not dependent on
bootloader. Although one bootloader might set the clocks to X and
other to Y, but still you provide here valid configuration setting
them, e.g. to Y (or to Z). What bootloader set before does not matter
because you always override it.

Yeah, and if you grep per type you got:
DTSI: 114
DTS: 54
so what do you want to say?

My thinking is that all the boards have buses configured to the same
initial frequency. I am not questioning the use of
assigned-clock-rates at all. Just the place...
