The reference clock of CMN PLL is routed from XO to the CMN PLL through
the internal WiFi block.

.XO (48 MHZ or 96 MHZ)-->WiFi (multiplier/divider)-->48 MHZ to CMN PLL.

The CMN PLL reference clock from WiFi always runs at 48 MHZ on IPQ9574,
but the XO clock could be 48 MHZ or 96 MHZ on different IPQ9574 boards.
The bootstrap pins select the right divider to ensure eventual clock
rate from Wi-Fi is always 48 MHZ.

To avoid confusion, I will update this comment to mention that the
XO clock frequency could run at 48 MHZ or 96 MHZ.

This code is validated on IPQ9574 RDP433 reference board, there is no
complaint reported about this self-referencing the clock of the clock
supplier DT node. It seems the API of_clk_set_defaults(struct
device_node *node, bool clk_supplier) called by this DT property
"assigned-clocks" allows this kind of self-reference.
