Thanks for the review. You are right that the disable belongs to
devres. I will move the disable to a devm action registered
after the populate.

But the _enabled part of devm_clk_get_optional_enabled() doesn't
fit here: it hands the disable to devres at get time, before the
PHY child is populated, so on unbind pxclk would be disabled only
after the PHY PLL it is parented on is gone, and the clock core
would warn.

I will keep the non-optional getter, since the binding requires
the clocks.

Yes, all the if (dp->pxclk) guards are dead code; will drop them
in v2.

We never enable "pll" ourselves (it is only a parent and rate
target), so it will stay a plain non-optional devm_clk_get().

Right, will drop it.
