I'd rather initialize it explicitly. If setting it to 216MHz works
fine as Terje indicated, we may as well just do that.

I suspect the issue with the original code:

> { "host1x",     "pll_c",        144000000,      false },

... is that perhaps the requested 144MHz can't be generated from
pll_c's 600MHz rate, since there's a simple U7.1 divider there (you
could get 120, 133.333, 150), so the clock ends up being programmed to
some incorrect value. In the pll_p/216MHz case, pll_p is programmed to
generate 216MHz anyway, so requesting the same rate for host1x yields
a divider of 1 exactly which works fine.
