[PATCH v3 2/4] clk: amlogic: Improve the issue of PLL lock failures

From: Chuan Liu <chuan.liu at amlogic.com>

Due to factors such as temperature and process variations, the
internal circuits of the PLL may require a longer time to reach a
steady state, which can result in occasional lock failures on some
SoCs under low-temperature conditions.

After enabling the PLL and releasing its reset, a 20 us delay is
added at each step to provide enough time for the internal PLL
circuit to stabilize, thus reducing the probability of PLL lock
failure.
