According to Table 13-45 of the i.MX8M Mini Reference Manual, the min
and max values for M and the frequency range for the VCO_out
calculator were incorrect. This also appears to be the case for the
imx8mn and imx8mp.

To fix this, make new variables to hold the min and max values of m
and the minimum value of VCO_out, and update the PMS calculator to
use these new variables instead of using hard-coded values to keep
the backwards compatibility with other parts using this driver.

You might want to call this 'min_freq' since there is a 'max_freq' which seems to indicate what VCO max frequency is.

Note that the same datasheet contains the following information:
"
MIPI_DPHY_M_PLLPMS field descriptions

12–4 PMS_M
Specifies the PLL PMS value for the M divider
NOTE: The programmable divider range should be within 25 to 125 to ensure PLL stability.
NOTE: The M and P divider values should be considered together to ensure VCO ouput frequency
(VCO_out) range is between 350 MHz to 750 MHz.
Please refer to the topic DPHY PLL for more information.
