That is true, but it also contains the flag for level which needs to be in sync with the gpio.h dts header. >> just a hint. not saying frequencies were defined in header. for systems >> that define frequencies - example cpufreq OPPs, clock node usage, we do >> not use indexing to frequency, instead, that is the responsibility of >> driver to convert frequency back to required index. >> git grep frequency Documentation/devicetree/bindings gives you how the >> precedence looks like. >> >> Personally, if given a choice, I'd go with actual frequencies rather >> than indexes. > > If I do that, I need to add also a separate flag to define whether the > XTAL clock is used or not.

Yes, you would have to. at the same time, it is easy for module maker to provide dtsi corresponding to exact h/w representation on his module using wilink chip without being worried about weird index value whose meaning is hidden in binding On the flip side, It also allows driver to reject frequencies / configurations that are not supported by the corresponding chip. As I said, just my 2 cents. Personally, I'd like dts files to be as readable as c files without having to dig through bindings document.
