It makes sense that only one pin would be used in practice, but I'm wondering if there are multiple pins in general.

This seems like a more > > reasonable method. Yes, this makes sense if the clk actually has multiple possible parents. Don't read the rate of the clk in the clk_ops::set_parent() callback though. The callback should only program the hardware to select the parent based on the index passed to the clk_op. If the clk only has one possible parent then it's different. I'd do it through clk_ops::set_rate() and use assigned-clock-rates or just let the first child clk of the PLL set the rate and configure the PLL by having the PLL's determine_rate() callback figure out if the parent rate is valid. That register field with "index" makes me suspicious that this is a mux that we're trying to hide behind the parent rate. Quite possibly that's actually a hardware multiplier, i.e. l-val, and we need to set the index to pick which multiplier is used to achieve whatever frequency is desired for the PLL itself. I assume the 353MHz output clk is actually the one that is deciding what the index should be, and the other ones all fall out of the PLL somewhere else through a post-divider or something.
