Agreed; GLK's minimum cdclk goes down to 79.2 mhz so it makes sense that
it needs to be handled differently than CNL (and beyond).  I.e., this
isn't a pure revert of the original patch.

Reviewed-by: Matt Roper <matthew.d.roper@xxxxxxxxx>

The only CI shard failure was an unrelated GEM false positive, so added
a Fixes: tag referencing the original patch and applied to dinq.  Thanks
for the patch!
