While trying to get rate of "mout_vpllsrc" MUX (parent) for registering the
"fout_vpll" (child), we found get rate was failing.

So this patch moves the mout_vpllsrc MUX out of the existing common list
and registers the mout_vpllsrc MUX before the PLL registrations.
Its also adds the alias for the mout_vpllsrc MUX.

I think the moving makes sense, but not the alias.  IMHO global
aliases should be avoided unless they can be strongly justified.

In part 6 of this series I see where you're using the alias but I
don't think you need it.  In your case you are a clock provider, so I
think you can use __clk_lookup("mout_vpllsrc") to find your clock.

I will post an update on our gerrit and you can see what you think.
If someone on the list thinks that using __clk_lookup() is a bad idea
and they'd rather see the global alias, please shout.
