As far as I can tell, none of these clocks are the parent of any other.

There's a layer of PLLs, then clockman almost always just dividing off
of those.  In response to a clockman request (which is what this
property tag quickly maps to), only PLLH ever gets changed as a result
of RPI_CLOCK_PIXEL.  PLLH feeds the HDMI and VEC (SDTV).  We don't have
an SDTV clock for us to control through these interfaces, so there are
no conflicts that I can see.  Only two clockman clocks I see divide off
of on other clockman clocks, and we don't have access to those.
