I love to talk about awakening, and I like that you've opened a discussion, but unfortunately you're operating under a couple of misconceptions.

1.) Not every "weird" or unexplained ability has to be a Devil Fruit. Yes Dragon APPEARS to have some kind of ability that allows him to control certain aspects of the weather, but we don't know the full story. Enel was literally lightning itself, Monet was snow, Big Mom controls the weather through 2 special "sun" and "thundercloud" homies, Sakazuki and Kuzan did it by just using their devil fruits for an extensive period of time, and Nami does it without a devil fruit even. At this point in the series weather control is nothing new to anyone, so I would really hope that's not what it is if Dragon does in fact turn out to have a devil fruit.

2.) Affecting the user's clothes is just a convenient advent of manga/anime, its not some unique ability tied to the fruit.

3.) Just because we've seen Doflamingo's awakening, doesn't mean that we've learned everything we need to know about how awakening will work for other devil fruits. He was literally ONE EXAMPLE. The new abilities unlocked with awakening will be uniquely tied to the abilities of the fruit itself, not whether the fruit is paramecia, logia, or zoan. Just because it worked a certain way for Doflamingo's paramecia Ito Ito No Mi, doesn't mean it'll work out the exact same way for the paramecia Gomu Gomu No Mi.

4.) The ability to awaken a Devil Fruit is based on the USER, not the fruit itself. You make it sound as if certain fruits just won't have an awakening, which shouldn't be the case. If SOME devil fruits can be awakened, then in theory all of them should have that same potential. As you mentioned earlier, it would be instead based on the user's mastery and level of control with the fruit over time.

The wavelength stuff you mentioned was pretty interesting, and could play a role in how devil fruit abilities are transferred to inanimate objects like weapons and things like robots, but it's too early to say if any of that has to do with awakening.
