I probably should have named it differently. This is not a multiplier
of a clock derived from PLL0 or PLL1. Instead it's a value set by
writing to the Port PHY Control Register (MPY bits) of the SATA
controller that configures the multiplier for the external low-jitter
clock. On the lcdk the signals (REFCLKP, REFCLKN) are provided by
CDCM61001 (SATA OSCILLATOR component on the schematics).

I'll find a better name and comment the property accordingly.

FYI: the da850 platform does not use the common clock framework, so I
don't specify the clock property on the sata node in the device tree.
Instead I add the clock lookup entry in patch [01/10]. This is
transparent for AHCI which can get the clock as usual by calling
clk_get() in ahci_platform_get_resources().
