Hi Maxime,

Thank you for the review.

Agreed clock-frequency tells whats the clock frequency, wrt ov5645 driver
this property was read and and the clock rate was changed accordingly as per
the value being passed. So switching  to assigned-clock-rates does bypass
of clock rate being set in the ov5645 driver [1] as the framework does it.

As done in patch [1] ?

Fyi I have posted a v4 [2] to ML.
