Good idea, done and ready for v3.

In a full LiteX SoC, the main sys_clock is used for cpu, buses, and as a
input source for peripherals such as LiteSDCard (which then further
subdivides it to obtain a 12.5--50.0 MHz sd_clock.

But since we're considering supporting LiteSDCard as an independent IP
block, the "source clock" frequency should indeed be specified as a DT
property in the MMC device node. (I'll have to add that to the list of
updates for litex_json2dts_linux.py as well, once we settle on what it
will look like -- I'll try to make the change and corresponding update
to the devicetree bindings doc for v3).

LMK what you think.

Thanks,
--Gabriel
