jtag_khz and jtag_rclk require that the interface driver has the
khz and the speed_div functions. The parport driver currently lacks
them.

Correct.

No, there is no requirement for a minimum frequency setting.
I am not sure what made you think that I required this.

(timing in the first sentence refers to the automatic parport
toggle speed detection)

The problem with a speed much lower than the requested is that it
hurt the performance badly. The parport interfaces will operate
at a much lower speed than they are capable of and the user will
not be aware of this.
