There doesn't seem to be any rule to determine which frequency is best, except 
on H3. Obviously, it must be high enough to process data for current 
resolution, which means 150 MHz should be just enough for 1920x1080 at 60Hz. I 
guess we should just check BSP configuration and use same rate since AW 
engineers may know something we don't.
