I can not parse this question, please excuse me.

Yes, Krzysztof suggested this being implemented as a link property, see 
media/video-interfaces.txt.

Moreover your implementation goes against both the existing definition 
(array with the list of frequencies) and Krzysztof's suggested extension 
(min and max). Listing just a single frequency goes against both these 
suggestions. In case of DP we have a fixed set of frequencies. Thus I'd 
suggest listing all supported frequencies instead.

> 2) where is link property i can add link-frequencies?

link node. Create outbound graph node, add link-frequencies there. Also 
as you are touching this part, please move the data-lanes property too.
