From: "J. Neuschäfer" <j.ne at posteo.net>

The recent formalization of the fsl,gtm schema has shown that
mpc8313erdb.dts doesn't provide the clock-frequency property on timer
nodes. A few different expectations collide here:

 - Both the binding and the driver for the Freescale global timer module
   (GTM) have always required clock-frequency, since their addition in
   2008 (v2.6.26-rc5-236-g83ff9dcf375c41).
 - mpc8313erdb.dts never had the timer@*/clock-frequency property, since
   the timer nodes were added in 2008 (v2.6.26-3343-g574366128db29e)

I suspect the way this worked was that the bootloader filled these
values when booting on an MPC8313 board.
