This is unusual and the example below lists a clock phandle (which is
the common thing), so I guess the description is just wrong.

What is the unit? I'd drop "approx", that the driver might not be able
to exactly hit the specified period is (IMHO) obvious and doesn't need
to be mentioned in the property name.
