based on [0] it might be 510MHz. according to these values (matched
with the S912 datasheet):
SDM_IN = 1638
EN_DDS2 = 1
SDM_EN2 = 1
N_IN2 = 5
LP_EN2 = 0
IR_BYIN2 = 0
MODSEL2 = 0
IR_BYPASS2 = 0
according to the clk-mpll.c clock driver:
f(N2_integer, SDM_IN ) = 2.0G/(N2_integer + SDM_IN/16384)
however, the parent clock on Meson8b is fixed_pll at 2.55GHz
so the calculation is:
2550000000/(5 + (1638/16384))
a problem here is that (1638/16384) = 0.1 (rounded up)
assuming that clk-mpll doesn't do fractional digits: 2.55GHz/(5 + 0) = 510MHz
assuming that original code did this on purpose and that the MPLL
clock hardware rounds values up we get: 2.55GHz/(5 + 0.1) = 500MHz
but like I said: nothing of that was confirmed on actual hardware, so
this is just "guessing register bit meanings" episode X ;)
