I'd go one step further. I'd require everybody to define this value
since there's no 'standard' frequency and the value that's there is
just the value of the boards we used for the port.
It would be even better if it wasn't a #define, but a variable.
There's registers that can be read to get the approximate frequency
(the chip only supports one of list of something like 16 different
frequencies). We should consider it and have an override for those
engineers that use a non-standard frequency.
