Although, the driver could try to work on the actual obtained frequency.
This is unlikely to work though, but it won't be very easy to figure out
why the device isn't working. Having the frequency in DT accessible for the
driver to check makes failing early with a clear error message possible.
The below point actually makes the above matter a non-issue: this driver
will contain a list of supported frequencies. A SMIA driver that I
typically work with, for instance, does not. So I think your suggestion of
having the CCF handle setting the frequency is a good one.

So, the clock frequency set up is delegated to CCF, and when any other
than 25 MHz frequencies are got supported, that's only the matter of
driver updates, DTBs won't be touched.
Indeed. The new supported frequencies in this case will be additional
single values; there won't be ranges or such. The register lists the
driver contains are more or less dependent on that frequency.
