This function seems pretty generic. Is it possible to share a bit more
code with any of the other pllXXX_set_rate() functions?

If there's a field in HW that muxes the clock input between n clocks,
why does this function assume there's a single parent for this PLL, by
taking a "const char *parent_name" parameter?

What happens if the bootloader changed this field in HW; is the kernel
simply not able to boot?

I *guess* that seems to be forcing a particular configuration of the
PLL. Why not do that in the initialization table? Some comments here re:
why this is done might be nice.
