Yes.

You need PCLK_VO1 (which is currently not exposed; I somehow missed
it).

I investigated the issue you are seeing some weeks ago when my
co-workers started to work on HDMI RX and TX. You are probably
just missing this patch:

https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-3588/linux/-/commit/ecc6415344957fa88356cec10f8b75a9da603a7b

Yes, it is necessary.

The upstream workaround/hack is to have the second parent always
enabled. This obviously wastes power, but means that the hardware
description in the DT is correct. Once the clock framework supports
two parents the kernel can be updated without touching the DT,
which is considered ABI.
