Hi Stephen,

A problem was reported on CoachZ devices where the display wouldn't come
up, or it would be distorted. It turns out that the PLL code here wasn't
getting called once dsi_pll_10nm_vco_recalc_rate() started returning the
same exact frequency, down to the Hz, that the bootloader was setting
instead of 0 when the clk was registered with the clk framework.

After commit 001d8dc33875 ("drm/msm/dsi: remove temp data from global
pll structure") we use a hardcoded value for the parent clk frequency,
i.e.  VCO_REF_CLK_RATE, and we also hardcode the value for FRAC_BITS,
instead of getting it from the config structure. This combination of
changes to the recalc function allows us to properly calculate the
frequency of the PLL regardless of whether or not the PLL has been
clk_prepare()d or clk_set_rate()d. That's a good improvement.

Unfortunately, this means that now we won't call down into the PLL clk
driver when we call clk_set_rate() because the frequency calculated in
the framework matches the frequency that is set in hardware. If the rate
is the same as what we want it should be OK to not call the set_rate PLL
op. The real problem is that the prepare op in this driver uses a
private struct member to stash away the vco frequency so that it can
call the set_rate op directly during prepare. Once the set_rate op is
never called because recalc_rate told us the rate is the same, we don't
set this private struct member before the prepare op runs, so we try to
call the set_rate function directly with a frequency of 0. This
effectively kills the PLL and configures it for a rate that won't work.
Calling set_rate from prepare is really quite bad and will confuse any
downstream clks about what the rate actually is of their parent. Fixing
that will be a rather large change though so we leave that to later.

For now, let's stash away the rate we calculate during recalc so that
the prepare op knows what frequency to set, instead of 0. This way
things keep working and the display can enable the PLL properly. In the
future, we should remove that code from the prepare op so that it
doesn't even try to call the set rate function.

Thank you for the lengthy explanation. May I suggest another solution:
- Apply https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-msm/010101750064e17e-3db0087e-fc37-494d-aac9-2c2b9b0a7c5b-000000@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

 - And make save_state for 7nm and 10nm cache vco freq (like 14nm does).

What do you think?

I didn't update the 14nm file as the caching logic looks different. But
between the 7nm and 10nm files it looks practically the same.
