This is actually a great hint. So far MPLL clocks have "just worked"
for me and I didn't have to work with this.
With your explanation it makes sense that SDM_EN makes the hardware
use or ignore the SDM value.

I did some more tests with Christian. It turns out that on GXBB
HHI_MPLL_CNTL7[15] has no impact on the rate seen by meson-clk-msr.
On the other hand, HHI_MPLL_CNTL[25] makes MPLL0 use or ignore the SDM
value (again, verified through meson-clk-msr).

Indeed!
My conclusion is that on GXBB:
1) HHI_MPLL_CNTL[25] doesn't control the spread spectrum setting of
MPLL0 - just like you thought
2) HHI_MPLL_CNTL[25] is actually SDM_EN (and HHI_MPLL_CNTL7[15]
doesn't seem to have any impact on MPLL0's output rate)

Please let me know if there's anything else we can test.
Else I'll send a patch for making HHI_MPLL_CNTL[25] the SDM_EN bit of
MPLL0 on GXBB.


Best regards,
Martin
