.set_cdclk() is lower level than that. It must be able to operate outside
atomic commits (eg. during display core init/uninit), and thus must be
able to do its work purely based on the passed in cdclk_config (which is
the lower level state structure, a pair of which are embedded inside the
atomic intel_cdclk_state).

We definitely don't want to hack around the core ideas
of how the atomic machinery works. That way leads
madness because no one will be able to understand how
anything works.
