I was confused by this because this statement is not consistent with
the link they reference jumps me to the table where it reads M is
between 64 and 1023.

I was confused by this too, because the NXP documentation reads the
350 - 750MHz that you state, but "Table 13-45: DPHY PLL Parameters"
which immediately follows that sentence on page 4158 shows VCO_out is
between 1050-2100 MHz.
I compared the PMS values for a variety of frequencies to those that
were set in the downstream NXP code, and the PMS values matched.
Maybe someone from NXP can explain the discrepancy.
