I would also add a warning. With all the ported device we found pll
needed only qca8337. I will add the error but also report the reason as
we really don't know if it does exist a qca8327 device that needs pll.
In theory not but who knows.

No idea about the revision and can't be recovered from the switch data
print on the chip. Will add a warning and put in the documentation that
we warn when an uncorrect revision is detected.
