Driver code:

+ ret = of_property_read_u32(dev->of_node, "clock-frequency", &xclk_freq);+ if (ret) {
+ dev_err(dev, "Could not get xclk frequency\n");
+ return ret;
+ }

+ /* external clock must be 37.125 MHz */
+ if (xclk_freq != 37125000) {
+ dev_err(dev, "External clock frequency %u is not supported\n",
+ xclk_freq);
+ return -EINVAL;
+ }

So, only 37125000 is supported - is that not worth mentioning in this
description? Is this a hard requirement of the sensor? If so, why
does it need to be mentioned in the DT binding?
