No. Get the rate once during probe and store it in wdt->rate.

Same here.

"Clock _device_" ? Why this change ? And why retain that warning unconditionally ?

This unconditionally overrides the original error.

No whitespace changes, please.

Does that mean that ACPI doesn't support the clock subsystem and that each driver
supporting ACPI must do this ? That would be messy. Also, the above does not check
if the device was probed through ACPI. It just tries to find an undocumented
"clock-frequency" property which is quite different and would apply to
(probably mis-configured) devicetree files as well.

Either case, I would rather have this addressed through the clock subsystem.
Otherwise, someone with subject knowledge will have to confirm that this is the
appropriate solution. If so, the new property will have to be documented as an
alternative to clock specifiers and accepted by devicetree maintainers.
