We're running in circles here. As the driver only supports 24MHz at the moment, the frequency should be set by the driver, as it's a driver limitation. We can then work on supporting additional frequencies, which will require DT to provide a list of supported frequencies for the system, but that can be done on top. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
