It's same everywhere. Allwinner, Exynos, iMX, Qualcomm. Everywhere this
is a part of the board, so even if oscillator frequency is fixed (as in
99% of cases although some SoCs I think might just allow to implement
one of few), still this is a property of the board. Because:
1. DTSI describes the SoC part, not board.
2. So the DTS developer is a bit more conscious about his design.
Keeping things in SoC DTSI just because it simplifies DTS is not correct
IMHO. So again - like in several other cases - minimum the frequency is
property of the board, not the SoC DTSI.
Everywhere. Allwinner is not special to receive exceptions.
Best regards,
Krzysztof
