Re: [PATCH 16/17] arm64: dts: imx952-evk: Add pinmux and mark conflicting devices for MQS1

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] The patch silently modifies the `&sai1` node to append SoC-level clock definitions (`pll8k` and `pll11k`) in a board-specific `.dts` file, violating Devicetree abstractions and the commit message's stated scope.

arm64: dts: imx952-evk: Add pinmux and mark conflicting devices for MQS1

This commit adds the MQS1 pinctrl group and labels the conflicting device and
sound card so the shared imx9-mqs overlay can disable them.

[Severity: Medium]
Is it intentional to place these SoC-level clock definitions in the
board-specific .dts file rather than the base SoC .dtsi file?

The added clocks (IMX952_CLK_AUDIOPLL1 and IMX952_CLK_AUDIOPLL2) appear to be
internal SoC clocks. Wiring these to the sai1 peripheral seems like an
SoC-level integration detail, and placing it here might force other boards
using sai1 to duplicate this wiring.

Additionally, this change is not mentioned in the commit message. Could the
commit message be updated to document this, or should this modification be
split into a separate patch?
