These PLLs are conflicting with GPU rates that can be generated by
the GPU-dedicated MFGPLL and would require a special clock handler
to be used, for very little and ignorable power consumption benefits.
Also, we're in any case unable to set the rate of these PLLs to
something else that is sensible for this task, so simply drop them:
this will make the GPU to be clocked exclusively from MFGPLL for
"fast" rates, while still achieving the right "safe" rate during
PLL frequency locking.

I'd just comment them out and leave a note about it. Or remove them but
leave a note. Removed code will not be obvious to others. And given this
is probably the only public documentation of the hardware, it'd be a shame
to lose evidence of it.

That's fair, I totally agree with you.
I'll send a v2 that adds a comment on top of mfg_parents explaining the
possible parents and why d6/d7 were left out.

Thanks,
