xclk it's the name being used in the camera datasheet, but I can change it to
something more generic

In the driver, I'm using this piece of code to check that the frequency is 25Mhz
xclk_freq = clk_get_rate(sensor->xclk);
if (xclk_freq != 25000000) {
dev_err(dev, "Unsupported clock frequency: %u\n", xclk_freq);
return -EINVAL;
}
So if I don't define it here the probing will fail. Do you have another
suggestion for this?
