tbh I'm not sure what we're supposed to do with that w/a: Since the clock
gating bits need to be set until we first enable the lvds in dual_link
mode, I think this is the BIOS' job. So would you be ok if I just add a
check that those bits are set when enabling the lvds output. And if that's
not the case, print a debug message? We can think harder about this once
we have an lvds panel with a black screen ...
