An alternative would be to introduce to a frequency "base" the default could be Hz (for backwards compatibility), but for CPUs we probably only care about MHz (or may be kHz) and so 32-bits would still suffice. Even if CPUs cared about Hz they could still use Hz, but in that case they probably don't care about GHz. Obviously, we don't want to break DT compatibility but may be the frequency base could be defined in DT and if it is missing then Hz is assumed. Just a thought ...
