Lets see what blunder I made :)

Sure.

Can you describe the role of the enable/disable of this pll_x_clk please?
Which all clocks depend on it, etc? So that I understand why its important
to enable it and for which clocks. And also if we need to disable it after
changing to any freq..

Ok, will check what suits best.
