I don't like requiring assigned-clock-* in DT bindings for a particular
device, as it's a way to force a specific clock tree configuration, not
a description of that device. For instance, on my board, the clock is
provided by a fixed-frequency oscillator, so assigning a clock rate
would be redundant.

I believe it should be up to the DT author to ensure that the clock has
the right frequency, using one of the available means to do so.
