That's a good point. AFAICS drivers/gpu/drm/meson/meson_vclk.c fiddles
with the hdmi clock registers. So we may want to avoid using hdmi_pll
or vid_pll as pwm parent. Below is a quick (and hopefully not too dirty)
follow-up patch disabling the hdmi/video clock parent.
Would be great if you can test this patch on top.
