It looks strange to have a pointer in a hardware structure, since
the pointer doesn't make sense to the device.

Also, the '__packed' attribute seems strange. Are you sure
you want to reduce the alignment from 4 bytes to 1 byte?

Interrupts are already disabled here.

Neither "pll6" nor "ahb1_mux" are listed in the DT binding. Also, why
is it the driver's business to set the parent?
