Sure, I will update the commit message as below to provide the details
required.

The common PLL hardware block is available in the Qualcomm IPQ SoC such
as IPQ9574 and IPQ5332. It provides fixed rate output clocks to Ethernet
related hardware blocks such as external Ethernet PHY or switch. This
driver is initially being enabled for IPQ9574. All boards based on
IPQ9574 SoC will require to include this driver in the build.
