Depends on how much you know about the surrounding registers.

If there is more clock related stuff than the audio pll, I'd
suggest to have a single driver for everything that isn't core clk
or clk gates which are already dealt with in the existing driver.

Given that this PLL layout is most likely 38x specific, I'd just put it
into drivers/clk/mvebu/armada-38x.c.

IMHO, adding a "syscon" compatible to the system-controller node should
do the trick. You can reference the regmap from 38x's pinctrl driver and
have a specific callback for the i2s/spdif muxing. The reg property
range of the system-controller should be extended but that definitely
depends on what the you or the Free Electron guys know about the
register set.
