Expected/description:

Tutorial page says that both st-flash and st-util can take --freq=480k as option in version 1.6.1. I try that option with st-link but it did not recognize. st-flash can successfully recognized the option.

Thank you for your support.

@joseph-cb I think this is simply an error in our tutorial.
The --freq argument was added in #893 and is only available for st-flash.
So this is not a bug in the toolset. However I'll fix our documentation. Thanks for the hint! 👍
