Given the driver has a fallback for info->max_adck_rate[x] == 0
I think this is intentional. It would be clearer if this had done.

info->max_adck_rate[0] = 8;
info->max_adck_rate[1] = 8;
info->max_adck_rate[2] = 8;
device_property_read_u32_array(dev, "fsl,adck-max-frequency", info->max_adck_rate, 3);

though rather than where it has the fallback in vf610_adc_calculate_rates()
