It does not matter whether the frequency can be changed or not. This is
the same on almost every SoC and the same comments appear every time -
the clock is a property of the board, not of the SoC, so it should be in
the board DTSI. To avoid the duplication you can indeed keep here most
of the clock properties, but the frequency must be in board DTS.
