A grep shows there're still many users of it.
$ grep -rn IMX6QDL_CLK_PLL4_AUDIO_DIV arch/arm/boot/dts/*.dts*
arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6q-cm-fx6.dts:451:			<&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_PLL4_AUDIO_DIV>;
arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6q-cm-fx6.dts:452:	assigned-clock-parents = <&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_PLL4_AUDIO_DIV>;
arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl-sabreauto.dtsi:287:	assigned-clock-parents = <&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_PLL4_AUDIO_DIV>;
arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl-sabreauto.dtsi.orig:127:	assigned-clock-parents = <&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_PLL4_AUDIO_DIV>;

We probably need to fix those device trees first and then can mark it as BROKEN
and remove from the driver support.

Copy NXP audio guys to double check if the issue exists on the downstream tree
as I saw the similar code there.

Shengjiu,
Can you help check it?
