clk: realtek: Add support for phase locked loops (PLLs)

This commit provides a full set of PLL operations for programmable PLLs and a
read-only variant for fixed or hardware-managed PLLs.

[Severity: High]
Could this result in a permanently disabled clock for write-only PLLs?

If a PLL is configured with power-on and power-off sequences but lacks a power
status register (power_reg == 0), is_power_on() will always return true.

If such a clock is disabled (e.g., by clk_disable_unused during init), this
power-off sequence will execute successfully.

[ ... ]

However, a subsequent call to rtk_clk_regmap_pll_enable() will hit the
is_power_on() check above, returning true and jumping to unlock before the
power-on sequence can be written.

Does this cause the clock to remain silently disabled in hardware, while the
clock framework considers it enabled?
