Sure, sorry for the delays, let's try that.

'ice' use case:
Enabling a PHY clock recovery for DPLL_MODE_AUTOMATIC dpll (ID#0) with PHY
recovered clock signals (PIN_ID#13) being muxed using MUX-type pin (PIN_ID#2)

1. Set MUX-type pin to state selectable and highest priority on a dpll device
(or make sure it is already configured):
CMD_PIN_SET:
	PIN_ID			2
	PIN_PARENT_DEVICE	(nest)
		ID		0
		PIN_STATE	SELECTABLE
		PIN_PRIO	0
(assume all the other pins have prio >=1)

2. Set connected state on a pin-parent_pin tuple where parent is a pin from #1
CMD_PIN_SET:
	PIN_ID			13
	PIN_PARENT_PIN		(nest)
		PIN_ID		2
		PIN_STATE	CONNECTED
