I agree with you. Actually, it is being used for operation frequency 
setting of PECI controller module in SoC so it's different from the 
meaning of "bus-frequency". I'll change it to "operation-frequency".

Will fix it.

So far I've checked that these are ASPEED PECI controller specific 
properties so it should be listed in here.

Got it. Will drop the part.
