Not that I could see. I think I was just overthinking it. I saw the
IMX8MP_CLK_AUDIOMIX_PDM_ROOT in mx8mp-clock.h which matched the
reference in the downstream kernel, so I was expecting that to be the
same clock name. When it didn't work, I thought I was missing
something because I only saw the pdm_sel mux and no direct reason or
reference to IMX8MP_CLK_AUDIOMIX_PDM_ROOT. I have it working now.
Sorry for the noise. I'll get my series cleaned up and push another
revision to add micfil node to the 8mp, and I'll probably remove the
IMX8MP_CLK_AUDIOMIX_PDM_ROOT imx8mp-clock.h so it doesn't throw
someone else off.
I appreciate your input.
