As I know all constants will be calculated in compile time, so there
should be no difference between 51.975 * MHZ and 51975 * KHz.

Here is the clock hierarchy between lvdspll and lvds_pxl:

-------- AD_VPLL_DPIX_CK -------- lvds_pxl -----
| |--------------------->| |---------->|
| | | cksys | |
LVDSPLL -->| LVDSTX | | buffer | | MMSYS
| | AD_LVDSTX_CLKDIG_CTS | test | lvds_cts |
| |--------------------->| |---------->|
-------- -------- -----

Some clocks and blocks are not modeled into CCF. But we prefer to enable
lvdspll before enabling lvds_pxl. So I modeled lvds_pxl (and lvds_cts)
as a fixed-rate clock with a source from lvdspll.

The frequency of these fixed-rate clocks (such as 148.5 MHz) are typical
rate. In fact, we don't care about the actual rate of these clocks. We
just care about the enable / disable sequence of them.


Best regards,

James
