[PATCH v2] clk: imx: Add audio PLL debugfs for K-divider control

Tue May 19 02:19:18 PDT 2026
Add debugfs support for runtime tuning of the audio PLL K divider,
which enables fine-grained frequency adjustments for audio PLL.
This is used for:
- Audio clock calibration and testing
- Debugging audio synchronization issues
Two debug interfaces are exported to userspace:
- delta_k: It is used to adjust the K divider in PLL based on small
steps
- pll_parameter: It is used for get PLL's current M-divider,
P-divider, S-divider & K-divider setting in PLL register

Changes in v2:
- remove the examples from commit log.
- refine the comments blocks
- add delta_k read back support
- resolve the comments from Sashiko AI
- add prefix to audio_pll_debug_init API
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260512-imx8m_pll_debugfs-v1-1-e1e44b21be90@nxp.com
