Add a property "clock-N-frequency" to the clock consumer bindings to
specify the frequency that a clock should be configured to when it is
made use of. N is the index of a clock specifier in the clocks property,
starting at 0.

This avoids the need to add clock-frequency properties to individual
device bindings or modify drivers to set the frequency of clocks to that
requested in device tree. Instead the driver can just read the rate of
the clock as if it was fixed.

This is aimed at devices where it's difficult for drivers to determine
what a clock should be set to, and either there is a recommended
frequency for the particular system or a chosen frequency for the
particular application of the system (which makes it essentially
configuration data).
