You're right clk_get_rate() should be used to get the current clk rate
but assigned-cock-rates only applies to your setup where the host
supplies the clk. This is not the case ff we connect a simple external
osc which provides a static (not adjustable) ckl.

Yes, just use:

  clocks = <&cam_osc>;

The dt-validation provides dummy hooks for such phandles.
