I'm sorry but I have already commented on v1 that all the mess in here
don't seem necessary. For Reference:

"""
You trying to bypass the input selection mux. There is no reason to do
so.

Your input clocks should be
* OSC
* vid_pll
* fdiv3
* fdiv4

While the pwm driver could welcome a rework around how it deal with DT
and the clocks, this S4 chip does not warrant any change compared to
previous generation (AFAICT)

All the stuff around "extern_clk" should go away IMO.
"""

Unless you can *really* justify why this approach is required, it is
firm Nack.
