I'm not sure this patch is actually right. In the downstream
sources we do quite a few more reads and writes if we need to
poke this second DLL configuration register. Furthermore, on
msm8974 and apq8084 this register doesn't even exist so writing
to it may cause problems if it isn't write ignored (I haven't
checked).

I think we should follow the downstream kernel design instead.
Namely, reading the major/minor version registers to figure out
if we should be touching this register in the first place, and
then adding a clock property to the DT binding for the XO source
so we can determine the XO frequency. It seems that we need this
frequency to figure out how to program the second DLL
configuration register appropriately.
