Definitely.


Take a look at:

static const struct freq_tbl ftbl_gcc_sdcc2_apps_clk_src[] = {
	F(400000, P_BI_TCXO, 12, 1, 4),
	F(25000000, P_GCC_GPLL0_OUT_EVEN, 12, 0, 0),
	F(50000000, P_GCC_GPLL0_OUT_EVEN, 6, 0, 0),
	F(100000000, P_GCC_GPLL0_OUT_EVEN, 3, 0, 0),
	F(202000000, P_GCC_GPLL9_OUT_MAIN, 4, 0, 0),
	{ }
};

XO and GPLL0 are more or less always on, but GPLL9 is described to only
be used for this specific clock for this specific frequency (perhaps it
feeds something else on the soc but that's besides the point).

Then, the parent input is changed during set_rate, but GPLL9 seems to
never be enabled:

(+ cruft to make this callable) results in a:
