The suggestion that is from IC designer, the correct pll sequence setting
should be like these:
----
set pll to slow mode or other plls
set pll down
set pll params
set pll up
wait pll lock status
set pll to normal mode
----

Hence, there are potential risks that we need to fix:
rockchip_rk3399_wait_pll_lock - timeout waiting for pll to lock
rockchip_rk3399_pll_set_params - pll update unsucessful, trying to restore old params
I still don't understand how that groks with the statement in the TRM:

In most cases the PLL programming can be changed on-the-fly and the PLL will simply slew to the new frequency
That makes it sound like these PLLs are super great at dynamic updates.


Well, I will report it to IC & Doc folkers to update the TRM and make it clear.

Thanks.
