Hi Uffe,

Thanks for the review. Please find my comments below.

In the current implementation, I am taking care of both the input and
output clock delays with the single clock (which is output clock) registration
and differentiating these tap delays based on their values
(<256 then input delay and  >= 256 then output delay), because that is
zynqmp specific. If we want to make this generic, we may need to
register 'another' clock which will be there as an input (sampling) clock
and then we can make this 'clk_set_phase()' be called unconditionally
each for both the clocks and let the platforms handle their clock part.
What's your take on this?

Thanks,
