+==Assigned clock parents and rates==
+
+Some platforms may require initial configuration of default parent clocks
+and clock frequencies. Such a configuration can be specified in a device tree
+node through assigned-clocks, assigned-clock-parents and assigned-clock-rates
+properties. The assigned-clock-parents property should contain a list of parent
+clocks in form of phandle and clock specifier pairs, the assigned-clock-parents
+property the list of assigned clock frequency values - corresponding to clocks
+listed in the assigned-clocks property.
+
+To skip setting parent or rate of a clock its corresponding entry should be
+set to 0, or can be omitted if it is not followed by any non-zero entry.

+        assigned-clock-parents = <&pll 2>;
+        assigned-clock-rates = <0>, <460800>;
+    };
+
+In this example the <&pll 2> clock is set as parent of clock <&clkcon 0> and
+the <&pll 2> clock is assigned a frequency value of 460800 Hz.
+
+Configuring a clock's parent and rate through the device node that consumes
+the clock can be done only for clocks that have a single user. Specifying
+conflicting parent or rate configuration in multiple consumer nodes for
+a shared clock is forbidden.
+
+Configuration of common clocks, which affect multiple consumer devices can
+be similarly specified in the clock provider node.
