This makes the pin-on-device and pin-on-pin register behaviour
different:
int
dpll_pin_register(struct dpll_device *dpll, struct dpll_pin *pin,
                  const struct dpll_pin_ops *ops, void *priv)
{
	...
        if (ASSERT_DPLL_REGISTERED(dpll))
                return -EINVAL;

I think it is need to maintain the same set of restrictions and
behaviour the same for both.

With what you suggest, the user would just see couple of pins with no
parent (hidden one), no dpll devices (none would be registered).
That's odd.

PF0 is the owner of DPLL in your case.

>From the user perspective, I think it should look like:
1) If PFn appears after PF0, it registers pins related to it, PF0
   created instances are there and valid. User sees them all.
2) If PF0 gets removed before PFn, it removes all dpll related entities,
   even those related to PFn. Users sees nothing.

So you have to make sure that the pin is hidden (not shown to the user)
in case the parent (device/pin) is not registered. Makes sense?
