It is the  max frequency for the 65nm devices, but the one on the GP board
is a M25P128-VMF6P. As there was no 'B' in the part number then it was a
130nm device which is limited to 50MHz.

Yes it was a left over of from a previous version, I will remove it.

It was the same kind of DT binding which was used for PHY that I used for
the regulator, I didn't imagine that it couldn't be accepted. But I was
wrong DT bindings seems to be really dependent of each maintainers.

I will move the regulator part of the SATA in a different patch.

But according to the binding documentation:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ata/ahci-platform.txt, the reg property is a
required property. If it is wrong that means that the bindings should be changed,
but it also should be stable.

It was copied from the 385 DB dts before the patch "ARM: mvebu: remove
clock-frequency from Armada 38x SDHCI Device Tree node" was applied. I will
remove it

This part came also from the 385 DB board as the connector was similar. I
thought you had introduced it on purpose so I kept it.
