Indeed, looks like it was dead when introduced in:
commit e44dde279492 ("clk: rockchip: add clock controller for rk1108")

I don't see a pattern between when mux_pll_src_4plls_p vs
mux_pll_src_2plls_p is used, so it's not clear where or even if
mux_pll_src_3plls_p should be used.  Given that there hasn't been a
response to your original question
(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/clang-built-linux/NqJT9OPH5C8)
and this patch is no functional change as the variable is already
dead, I don't think it will hurt to remove it.  It should also boost
the signal to noise ratio of this warning.

Thanks for looking into it, and the patch.
