Hi Lucas:
First of all, thanks for your comments.

IMHO, I'm not sure it's proper or not to describe the hardware logic in
 the PHY node when internal SYSPLL is used as PCIe PHY reference clock.
So, I'm trying to get some suggestions and used to send out an email to
 you and Marcel on Sep20.

Okay, if you think it's not correct to expose IMX8MP_CLK_HSIO_ROOT clock
 out.
Which clock you are prefer to use as PHY reference clock here?

Thanks.

Best Regards
Richard Zhu
