Well, then, I don't understand. The pll periph/peripheral/periph0,
aka PLL6 works well for many SoCs and there is no need to change
its DT definition.

In the patch header, you wrote:

then, for the H3, you do
(the comment should be "until pll8 can be reused"),

that is, you add the PLL8, don't you?

And, further, you change the MMC clocks:

where the PLL8 is already used.

So, how can you say
