Actually, sensor supports only 2 clock frequencies: 37.125 MHz and 74.25 MHz.
And the driver currently supports only 37.125, because that's what I can test
with my setup.

So how about below:

clock-frequency: Frequency of the xclk clock in Hz. It should be one of the
		 following:
		 - 37125000
		 - 74250000

Thanks,
Mani
