That's not what your code was saying. It said: "Directly connected to APB bus and its shift clock is from APB bus clock divided by a programmable value." > if yaml file still didn't need please let me know. Now read the description of bus-frequency: "Legacy property for fixed bus frequencies" Don't add legacy properties to new bindings. You have assigned-clock-rates and clocks properties.
