The ENET PLL is different from the other i.MX6 PLLs, as it has
multiple outputs with different post-dividers, which are all
bypassed if the single bypass bit is activated. The hardware setup
looks something like this:
_
refclk-o---PLL---o----DIV1-----| \
| | |M |----OUT1
o-----------------------|_/
| | _
| o----DIV2-----| \
| | |M |----OUT2
o-----------------------|_/
| | _
| `----DIV3-----| \
| |M |----OUT3
`-----------------------|_/
The bypass bit not only bypasses the PLL, but also the attached
post-dividers. This would be reasonbly straight forward to model
with a single output, or with different bypass bits for each output,
but sadly the HW guys decided that it would be good to actuate all
3 muxes with a single bit.
So the need to have the PLL bypassed for one of the outputs always
affects 2 other (in our model) independent branches of the clock
tree.
This means the decision to bypass this PLL is a system wide design
choice and should not be changed on-the-fly, so we can treat any
bapass configuration as static. As such we can just register the
post-dividiers with a ratio that reflects the bypass status, which
allows us to bypass the PLL without breaking our abstraction model
and with it DT stability.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
