Good day Vadim,

Can we help on the new PLL interfaces?
I can start some works related to that, although would need a guidance
from the expert. 
Where to place it?
What in-kernel interfaces to use?
Any other high level tips that could be useful?
Or if you already started some work, could you please share some
information?
