This is the frequency of the bus or used to derive it? It would be
better to specify the bus frequency instead and have the driver
calculate its internal freq. And then use "bus-frequency" instead.
I agree with you. Actually, it is being used for operation frequency setting
of PECI controller module in SoC so it's different from the meaning of
"bus-frequency". I'll change it to "operation-frequency".
No, now you've gone from a standard property name to something custom.
Why do you need to set the frequency in DT if it is not related to the
interface frequency?

Rob
Actually, the interface frequency is affected by the operation frequency
but there is no description of its relationship in datasheet. I'll check
again about the detail to ASPEED chip vendor and will use
'bus-frequency' if available.

Thanks,

Jae
