Benefit: New chip just need change dts file for the same IP, like change base
Reg address and irq number.  

Your question is:  "why need this assigned-clock-rates IMX_SC_PM_CLK_MST_BUS property?"  

My answer: it is one of hardware property, like reg base address and irq number.

If can't match your expectation, can you change another words or provide me an example?
