I should have been more precise above,

Yes, claiming parent clocks is the main fix.

The pll reset patch should improve stability but datasheet isn't very
clear about when to reset pll nor how long it may take at max. Even the
Loss-of-Lock check isn't documented but seems to make sense.

But generated frequencies do always match reported frequencies.

I striped down your reports the the very essential lines.

What I noticed about your clk2 that you always measure as 0 Hz is
that none of your clocks is prepared/enabled.

Currently, the si5351 driver only ensures the output is enabled
when si5351_clkout_prepare() is called.

As long as you do not have a clk consumer that properly prepare/enables
the clock output, it may remain disabled.

We should probably have additional DT properties and corresponding
pdata to force clkoutN always on.

Ok, I didn't dig into this. I think I'll rebuild your DT setup above
and see if I can reproduce it. It will be different with respect to
XTAL frequency, which is 25MHz on CuBox.

Above ms2 .set_rate() doesn't look good. It is called because ms2 is
child of pllb but the .params have not been setup. Usually this is
done in si5351_msynth_recalc_rate() but it has not been called yet.

I will probably initialize .params with current register contents
on probe().

Here again, reported frequencies and measured frequencies look quite
good. Why the requested frequencies differ when enabling DEBUG, I'll
have to have a closer look.

"keeps"? You mean "generates", don't you?

Yep. And your testing on a different setup definitely helps.

Me neither.
