[PATCH] clk: mediatek: mt8189: Don't let the GPU reference mux retune MAINPLL

[zoan37 <agentzoan@gmail.com>]

mfg_sel_mfgpll selects the GPU clock from mfg_ref_sel or mfgpll and has
CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT, so a GPU rate request (Panfrost devfreq) goes
through __clk_mux_determine_rate(), which evaluates both parents.
mfg_ref_sel is a MUX_GATE_CLR_SET_UPD() and so also has
CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT, as does its mainpll_d6 parent: through it, any GPU
OPP can be met exactly by retuning MAINPLL to six times the requested
rate. mfg_ref_sel is parent 0, so it wins over mfgpll whenever both match.

On an MT8189 Chromebook, MAINPLL therefore followed the GPU: 2340 MHz
for the 390 MHz OPP instead of the 2184 MHz the firmware sets, and 3360
or 3570 MHz while the GPU ran at 560 or 595 MHz. Everything else derived
from MAINPLL moved with it: the peripheral and memory buses, and the
display PWM, whose backlight frequency jumped from 2 to about 3 kHz for
tens of milliseconds under GPU load. That showed as a visible brightness
flicker.

mfg_ref_sel is only the reference/bypass parent that the mux notifier
switches to while MFGPLL relocks. Don't let it propagate rate changes,
as MT8195 does for its top_mfg_core_tmp. The GPU then gets its rates
from MFGPLL, and MAINPLL stays at its firmware rate.

Found on top of v6 ("[PATCH v6 19/27] clk: mediatek: Add MT8189 topckgen
clock support"); it applies to that patch and can be squashed into it.

Testing: Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook (MT8189, "quigon"),
next-20261008 plus this series and local board support, Panfrost on the
Mali-G57 with devfreq. Before: MAINPLL 2340 MHz at idle and 3360/3570 MHz
under GPU load, read from clk_summary; the display PWM's actual period
(debugfs/pwm) went from 500 us to 348/328 us with it. After: every GPU
OPP from 390 to 1100 MHz forced through devfreq min/max_freq, and
scrolling a busy page: the GPU always on mfgpll, MAINPLL fixed at
2184 MHz, the PWM steady, no flicker. No device tree change needed (the
mux selects mfgpll by itself). Built with W=1.
