Does a common property name exists for the switching frequency or would
it be vendor specific?

As far as I know most regulators have fixed switching frequencies,
so there is no common property name so far. I added regulator
framework people, since this property should be regulator specific.
No, it's pretty common for there to be a couple of options - there's
normally a performance tradeoff (power for regulation accuracy and/or
cost) which can be selected.  IIRC it's selected at design time as it
affect the choice of passives on the board.
okay i understand. But doesn't it need a extra driver to set the switching
frequency because of the new compatible string?
I don't understand this bit at all, sorry.
At this point i think about moving this feature into the bootloader.

@Fabio, @Marek:

What's your opinion about that?
