Yes, that would be my preference as well. Once suspend/resume support
gets added we should run into this again. Setting the rate so some sane
value (the meaning of which is highly dependent on the use-case) sounds
to me more like a workaround rather than a real fix.

pll_d2 is used for display, so I don't quite understand why we'd have
to restore the rate on resume, since DRM/KMS would set it to whatever
it needs at a higher level anyway. Perhaps this will turn out to be a
non-issue upstream.
