Which data? 

I guess, for the rate boundaries, the DT would be the right place,
wether a clock should be protected can be derived from its
compatible. And for the rate to enforce, maybe a clock-frequency
property in the DT too, or directly in the driver, I haven't really
thought about that part at the moment to be honest :)
