I am not sure that the name of the above function really reflects what
it is doing. If it was enabled, isn't it the AND of these bits?

Futhermore, what we really want to know is if the override is enabled,
but the PMC PLLM enable is not set. In other words, the PMC is gating
the clock. So maybe we should have a function that is called something
like pllm_clk_is_gated_by_pmc().
