That all looks sane.

I /think/ the explanation you gave Mark on this property makes sense.
However, it's not clear from the description what this does; in many
other cases a clock-frequency describes a fixed/actual input clock rate
to a device, rather than a frequency which the device believes it should
operate at, and hence the driver should request. Perhaps the following
would describe this:

- clock-frequency : The frequency at which the "mclk" clock should be
		configured to operate, in Hz. If this property is not
		specified default 24 MHz value will be used.

To me, this more strongly implies that the user of the node should
configure the clock, rather than the property reporting the rate at
which the clock is already configured to operate.

I think the rest of the binding doc (below this point) seems reasonable too.
