We also had that discussion recently for another omnivision sensor
(ov5645 iirc), but what is clock-frequency useful for?

It seems that the sensor is passed in clocks, so if you need to
retrieve the clock rate you should use the clock API instead.

Looking at the driver, it looks like it first retrieves the clock, set
it to clock-frequency, and then checks that this is OV8856_XVCLK_19_2
(19.2 MHz).

The datasheet says that the sensor can have any frequency in the 6 -
27 MHz range, so this is a driver limitation and should be set in the
driver using the clock API, and you can always bail out if it doesn't
provide a rate that is not acceptable for the drivers assumption.

In any case, you don't need clock-frequency here...

And you don't need assigned-clock-rates either.
