That is good info, together with what Roman reported in that patch
mentioned above it seems to confirm that the parent clock selection
also determines the output path of TCON0.
Since there does not seem to be another register or switch setting
the path (ignoring the pinmux), I think a DT solution is appropriate
here, and assigned-clock-parents is the right way to go.

So the patch series looks good to me in general, but we thought that of
Roman's series as well, so I would really like to see a Tested-by: from
a Pinephone user and ideally a confirmation from Roman that this still
works for him.

Also I second Dragan's comments about copying the rationale into at
least the commit messages (if not in comments). Having explanations
in the cover letter is good, but having it in the git repo is much
better - as the cover letter will only be in the email archives.

Cheers,
Andre
