Yes, for a given controller there is lots of input sources which can be 
mux but we can not use all option as some of source is changeable based 
on DVFS policy or other constraints. Like one of controller has the 
input clock source as PLLC which is again used by CPU and it varies for 
requested CPU frequency. In this context, we would like to not choose 
PLLC as clock source for given controller.

So we may need to provide the list of valid clock source/option from DT 
file and clock muxing should be done from that source list only in place 
of super set supported by SoCs.
