I'm not concerned specifically with Exynos4210, but with placing such
kind of data in common dtsi files.

Notice that even on boards which have correct initialization done by
firmware, this will cause the settings to be overwritten, even if the
firmware sets correct, but different values, regardless of them being
clock parents or rates.

To me, even if this would mean duplicating some data, making this per
board and present only in dts files of boards that actually need this
(i.e. are known to have broken firmware) sounds more reasonable.

Best regards,
Tomasz
