I think this is fine as-is with this explanation. At least we have a precedent in the i.MX8MQ DT where the assigned clocks are for the base (non overdrive) operating point and boards can choose to override it if they want to use the overdrive OPP. At least until we add proper frequency scaling in etnaviv, which should obsolete those fixed clock rates. Regards, Lucas
