I'm very much in favor of this patch, but I also think we shouldn't
risk breaking Samsung devices, where we don't now 100% that the input
clock rate provided by the clock driver is correct.

So I think the right approach is to use "samsung,pll-clock-frequency"
when present in DT and get it from the clock provider otherwise. Then
just remove the property from the DTs where we can validate that the
input clock rate is correct, i.e. all i.MX8M*.
