Hm... On second thought, I'm not sure intel_cdclk_clock_changed() would
be very accurate, at least with the current implementation. We are
checking not only on the resulting cdclk frequency, but also on
ref and vco values.
Although I'm not sure if that could happen in real life, but the current
implementation gives me the interpretation that, in theory, a change in
ref or vco could happen even if the cdclk value did not change. Or are
we safe to say that checking on cdclk should be enough and looking at
vco and ref is actually redundant?
