Move the fractional-frequency-offset-ppt attribute from the top-level
pin attributes into the pin-parent-device nested attribute set. This
makes it consistent with phase-offset which is already per-parent and
clarifies that FFO PPT represents the frequency difference between
a pin and its parent DPLL device.

The top-level fractional-frequency-offset attribute (in PPM) remains
unchanged for backward compatibility.
That is odd. The ppt one was added just for higher precision but was
semantically the same. Now you change it. Could you still treat both the
same?
WDYM?

Keep fractional-frequency-offset-ppt at the top-level and add both
fractional-frequency-offset and fractional-frequency-offset-ppt into
pin-parent-device nested attribute set?
Since both are the same, only different unit, it would make sense to
treat them both the same. That prevents from user confusion, hopefully.
Thanks,
Ivan
