Add both fractional-frequency-offset (PPM) and fractional-frequency-offset-ppt (PPT) attributes to the pin-parent-device nested attribute set, alongside the existing top-level pin attributes. Both carry the same measurement at different precisions. Distinguish the two contexts in the ffo_get callback by passing dpll=NULL for the top-level call and a valid dpll pointer for the nested per-parent call. This allows drivers to report a different value per parent DPLL if needed. Update mlx5 and zl3073x drivers to return -ENODATA for the context they do not yet support. Add documentation for both FFO attributes to dpll.rst.
