I have a different opinion here. I think we should just choose one register function when
probe and it depends on platform implementation instead of a PLL is supported FHCTL or
not. We have an option to use clk-pll-fh or clk-pll at the beginning of new IC
development. And, we want it's easy to add FHCTL support on legecy ICs.
The way of how we use the register function is affected by the way we use fhplls_data. If
FHCTL supported or not is used to decide which registery function should we use, it has to
change the exist plls_data. But most of IC's PLL data is already exist. So I want to use a
structure to descript FHCTL HW itself and have a link to existed PLL data.
>From your example, it will look like:
plls_data = { PLL_A, PLL_B, PLL_C, PLL_D }; /* Already existed */
fhplls_data = { FH_A,
FH_B }; /* New added for FHCTL data */
func mtk_clk_register_pllfhs(plls_data, fhplls_data)
fhctl_match_pll_data()
/* Link fhpll and pll:
* FH_A -> PLL_A
* FH_B -> PLL_B
*/
For MT8186 and ICs need FHCTL supported:
func clk_mt8186_apmixed_probe()
fhctl_parse_dt()
mtk_clk_register_pllfhs(plls_data, fhplls_data)
For those don't need FHCTL and legacy ICs:
func clk_mtxxxx_apmixed_probe()
mtk_clk_register_plls(plls_data)
When one ICs that need to support FHCTL but they didn't implement before, we only need to
change the registery function and add FHCTL data, no need to modify existed plls_data. I
think it can save our development time and maintenance effort.

The requirements of clk-pll-fh are:
1. It is compatible with those PLLs that don't support FHCTL HW.
2. It can handle PLLs that supported FHCTL but aren't enabled.
3. It can handle PLLs that supported FHCTL but are enabled.
So, I use fhctl_is_supported_and_enabled(PLL) here. No matter a PLL supports FHCTL or not,
it can work.
