Multiple instances of the same driver.

Again, multiple instances of the same driver.

Each instance/device.

Multiple instances/devices.


In case of mlx5, the same dpll device and same dpll pin could be shared
among two PFs but also among multiple VFs and SFs. They all share the
same clock, same dpll device.
