Ok, seems like I can move that part into the common file as well.
Integrations of ADV7482 and R-Car which use salvator-common.dts can still
redefine the endpoint settings in their board files, right?

"Submitted", at the moment. Besides you and Rob Herring no one said anything
yet (either that or I missed the replies).

Oops. It looks like it is and the value is derived from the sampling rate
(48kHz) and the master clock multiplier. Both hard-coded in the board file.

I would gladly give it right direction if I *really* understood what I was
doing...

Should the DT bindings document that the clock cannot be specified than?

I'll add them.
As the device seems to function even without thoes, does this mean the pins in
the group are used "on demand" by whatever needs them?

...probably because I was thinking the specification was exactly the other way
around.

Does a "clocks = ..." statement always mean input clocks?

I shall correct that and re-test (might take a while, I don't have the
hardware anymore).

Thanks for looking!
