I see, I'll use replace the property with clock-frequency.

And in the driver I would need to do for example:
clkp = clk_get(NULL, "audio_mclk");
clk_rate = clk_get_rate(clkp);
clk_put(clkp);

to get the frequency in this way?
Note that the twl4030-audio stack itself does not handle clocks at the moment
since the clock needed for the audio module is always running (HFCLKIN ->
HFCLKOUT -> AUDIO_MCLK (USB_MCLK)). All of this is within twl4030. Do we
really want to model this?
