What do you mean by that exactly? Creating a driver for the main PLL's
and add device tree entries to instantiate them, along with a property
like "boot-enabled" or similar?

The approach chosen in this patch is aligned the way it's done for i.MX6
(see arch/arm/mach-imx/clk-imx6q.c). The whole clock module(s) in Vybrid
are slightly striped variants found in i.MX6. For now, I would prefer to
leave it that way.
