clock-frequency is quite different from assigned-clock-rates though,
semantically speaking. clock-frequency is only about what the clock
frequency is, while assigned-clock-rates will change the rate as well,
and you have no idea how long it will last.

If you want to retrieve that through the clock framework, then just
making clock-frequency optional is enough and falling back to
clk_get_rate on the clocks property already provided is enough.
