Hi Prabhakar,

Thank you for the patch.

I would phrase it the other way around, this patch mainly deprecates
clock-frequency, and as a side effect recommends usage of
assigned-clock-rates.

"Deprecate usage of the clock-frequency propertly. The preferred method
to set clock rates is to use assigned-clock-rates."

I would drop this completely. Drivers need to ensure backward
compatibility, but DT bindings should only document the latest version,
the history is available in git.

While at it, can I enlist you to convert these bindings to yaml ? :-)
