I don't know whether it is simpler, but "modeling divider as being part of the MUX"
is your guess, right?
If the "divider" is included in MUX, the MUX would not be called "MUX".
I don't know whether "divider" module exists or not. If it exists, it should be part
of PLL or between PLL and MUX. wherever it was, the device tree binding is appropriate.
The P3041RM shows exactly each PLL has 2 outputs which definitely have no "divider" at all.
