I have confirmed that only the hifi_pll of the chip in recent years has 
this feature,

and g12a/sm1/axg is not like this.


I confirm that our sm1 uses hifi_pll, and I have not encountered the
situation you said. There was a probability of lock failure in pll
before, which was solved by adding 50us delay in meson_clk_pll_enable:
@@ -378,6 +378,8 @@ static int meson_clk_pll_enable(struct clk_hw *hw)
         /* Enable the pll */
         meson_parm_write(clk->map, &pll->en, 1);

+       udelay(50);
+
         /* Take the pll out reset */
         if (MESON_PARM_APPLICABLE(&pll->rst))
                 meson_parm_write(clk->map, &pll->rst, 0);

This patch is also prepare to push to upstream later.


Another detail is that the larger the frac value, the longer the lock
time, but the time is at the us level, so that the timeout in the pll
driver is not triggered.
