BTW: This code doesn't work, btw. It's bits, not masks.

My solution doesn't wrk. We need either a custom fn or your proposed
parent-clock trick.

You mean clk and PHY individually? I'm not that familiar with the new
clock framework. Is it possible without registering a dummy clock on the
systems with doesn't have individual clocks?

I'm not (yet) deep into the different orion archs, can you elaborate more?
