media: i2c: ov7251: Use V4L2 sensor clock helper

Several camera sensor drivers access the "clock-frequency" property
directly to retrieve the external clock rate, or modify the clock rate
of the external clock programmatically. Both behaviours are valid on a
subset of ACPI platforms, but are considered deprecated on OF platforms,
and do not support ACPI platforms that implement MIPI DisCo for Imaging.
Implementing them manually in drivers is deprecated, as that can
encourage cargo-cult and lead to differences in behaviour between
drivers. Instead, drivers should use the devm_v4l2_sensor_clk_get()
helper.

This driver supports ACPI and OF platforms. The "clocks" property has
always been specified as mandatory in the DT bindings and the
"clock-frequency" property has always been optional. The driver
retrieves the clock and its rate if present, and falls back to
retrieving the rate from the "clock-frequency" property otherwise. If
the rate does not match one of the supported rates, the driver fails
probing.

If a clock is available and the "clock-frequency" property is set, the
driver sets the rate of the clock to the value of the property. It does
however use the rate initially retrieved from the clock for further
calculations, which is a bug if the rates don't match, and would prevent
the sensor from functioning properly. We can therefore assume that this
case never occurs, and that the driver behaves correctly for ACPI, and
for OF platforms that comply with the documented DT bindings.

Switch to using the devm_v4l2_sensor_clk_get() helper. This does not
change the behaviour on ACPI platforms that specify a clock-frequency
property and don't provide a clock. On ACPI platforms that provide a
clock, the clock rate will be set to the value of the clock-frequency
property. This should not change the behaviour either as this driver
expects the clock to be set to that rate, and wouldn't operate correctly
otherwise.
