I wasn't proposing a workaround. What will go wrong if a gate is taken
as parent of DDN everywhere? Not to mention this DDN variant actually
duplicates the code in ccu_mix.c.

It's not about new macros. It's about new clock types. And the solution
I proposed for the divider with a factor isn't meant to be a workaround.
For the divider's case, I think combining a fixed-factor and a normal
divider looks more clean than introducing a new LUT. It solves the
problem for K1, right?

Could you please confirm whether K3's dividers requiring this patch are
really non-linear or just imply a fixed-factor?

Thanks, that'll be easier to review.

IIRC, the indentation is intended to show the relationship between
register bits and offsets, which seems easier to read for me. Do you
have a good reason to change it?
