Yeah, they are not mux clocks, but rather a compound of mux + DPLL 
multiplier/divider logic. Changing the DPLL to be a separate mux + DPLL 
div/mult clock will still have overlapping usage of the DPLL_EN field, 
as the DPLL must be in bypass mode during M+N change. Or, should the 
DPLL rate change only be allowed if the mux is in bypass setting? 
Several drivers still depend on direct dpll clk_set_rate working 
'properly' (there are some other issues currently present also which 
have nothing to do with the mux behavior.)

If you believe this _must_ be changed, I can take a look at this for 
next merge window, but this will cause a DT data compatibility break if 
nothing else (personally I don't care about this as I always rebuild DT 
blob with kernel, but lots of other people seem to do.)
