Hi Stephen,

Thanks for your review!

I also use "clocks" and "clock-names" property, but didn't specify
it here, because the Exynos SoCs clocks driver is not in the mainline yet.

There are two clocks the driver needs to be aware of. One of them needs
to have a specific parent clock set and the frequency set properly,
so when it is put into a data pipeline with other IPs there is no overflows
of their input/output FIFOs.

devfreq may change those frequencies if enabled, however its another topic.
I wanted to ensure the device has initially correct local clock frequency
set, with which it can operate.
