The use case here is when the clock is supplied by one of the clock outputs of
a SOC which might not hit the requested frequency exactly due to internal PLL
configuration. So to get a better pixel clock the actual clock rate is read to
calculate the PLL parameters on the sensor. At least that's the idea.
