OK I copy/pasted some of this into my commit message and cut
the "active" clock from PLL4.

So it is (I think as concluded from the other mail) a pretty hardwired
PLL that can only be turned on and off.

#define DEFINE_CLK_RPM_PXO_BRANCH(_platform, _name, _active, r_id, r)

This macro presupposes an _active variant, so it's not really
working :/

Nothing in the driver is using this macro however, it seems like
it was defined for some missing piece.

How do you feel about if I simply update that macro and
cut the _active version then?

Or should I create a new DEFINE_CLK_RPM_PXO_BRANCH_FIXED()?
