I think this is where the clock is defined 

	PXA27X_CKEN_1RATE("pxa27x-camera.0", NULL, CAMERA, pxa27x_lcd_bus_parents, 0),

Yeah that would make the sense, because the camera controller controls the divider and enable signals.

I guess. Just the 1:1 replacement.

PXA camera worked without devicetree without problems (I'm not sure if I ever used devicetree). The definition should be in that file above (but I'm not that familiar with the clock framework).
