Panda does not need DCC. Panda uses 4430 and Panda-ES uses 4460. 
neither of which need DCC (DPLLs are trimmed for required frequencies 
there) - 4430 never had DCC, 4460 had broken DCC. 4470 (which is not 
upstream and does not have a panda variant) is the only one needing DCC 
at higher frequencies, and that needs an entirely different 
scheme(compared to OMAP5+) as mentioned by Tero if 4470 ever gets 
supported upstream.
