Neither "pll6" nor "ahb1_mux" are listed in the DT binding. Also, why
is it the driver's business to set the parent?
Those are global clocks, so it's not really part pof the driver
binding itself. But I can add them.
No better don't then. Can you change the clk_get() call to pass
NULL as the device pointer to clarify this in the source though?
Ok.

About the reparenting itself, other devices are actually fine having
any parent they want, only the DMA is picky about it (at least, from
what we know), so it made sense to me to put it into the driver
itself. Where would you put it?
Maybe Mike Turquette has an idea. We have in the past discussed
about cases where you want the default clock setting to be part
of the clock provider in some property. Could that work here?
You mean in the DT? I guess it would yes.
