That sounds like a scheme to detect the max frequency of the clk before
an OPP table is written. It would be better to convert that code to use
OPP tables if available and then drop this assigned clock property from
the DT (in both places).

I see that it's this way on sc7180 too, which is sad but it seems nobody
noticed.
