That's for ldb_di{0,1}_sel, this is for ipu{1,2}_di{0,1}_sel.

On imx6q the ldb_di{0,1}_sel mux has an improperly placed gate and a
special switch procedure needs to be performed at boot time. This
design was fixed on 6qp by moving the ldb_di{0,1} gate immediately
after the mux. My tests are on 6qp.

For ipu{1,2}_di{0,1}_sel the ipu{1,2}_di{0,1} gate can be used on all
chips, it's just that the drm driver doesn't do this. Adding the
CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT flag exposes the issue by returning errors.

If I run "while true; do rtcwake -m mem -s 5; done" it will hang in ~30
minutes because the "suspend devices" takes too long and RTC alarm
expires. I tracked this down to the clk_set_parent call inside
imx_ldb_encoder_disable: sometimes this takes many seconds.

As far as I can tell this live reparenting is unsafe (RM claims
glitches are possible) and not useful (we're deactivating the display
anyway). However I'm not sure this can be blamed on a "glitch".

What seems to be happening is that this triggers the enabling of pll5
(yes, on disable) and the usleep from clk_pllv3_wait_lock takes far too
much time to return. This might be an unrelated timekeeping issue, I'll
look into this further.

According to the RM this reparenting is unsafe anyway so we should
avoid it, probably by disabling ipu_di sooner.
