Add SYS PLL for the clock controller of the Amlogic T7 SoC family.
Your commit description is almost the same on every patch in the series.
Probably having a more specific description per commit would be much more
useful, for reviewers to better understand your commit.
There are documentation pages on how to write informative commit messages
at [1] and [2], but in summary, your description should talk about *what*
is being done and (provided that makes sense), *why*.
You also have multiple commits with the exact same commit message
("dt-bindings: clk: meson: Add Amlogic T7 sys pll support"), did you
mean to squash them all into one? (You can do so with `git rebase -i`.)
It probably also would make sense to add a cover letter, which would
describe
overall what you goal is with this patch series, and on a high level
(doesn't have to be too detailled, because you'd describe these in more
detail in the respective commit messages themselves) what each patch does.
This once again helps people reviewing your code to understand what problem
you're trying to solve.

Thanks for your help Ferass, I definitely will.
I think I have misread this part of the doc :
"The Documentation/ and include/dt-bindings/ portion of the patch should
be a separate patch."
If I am allowed to combine the header and yaml doc in the same commit, I
will do so.
Best regards,
