Subject: [PATCH v3] drm: tilcdc: add a workaround for failed clk_set_rate()

Some architectures don't use the common clock framework and don't
implement all the clk interfaces for every clock. This is the case
for da850-lcdk where clk_set_rate() only works for PLL0 and PLL1.

Trying to set the clock rate for the LCDC clock results in -EINVAL
being returned.

As a workaround for that: if the call to clk_set_rate() fails, fall
back to adjusting the clock divider instead. Proper divider value is
calculated by dividing the current clock rate by the required pixel
clock rate in HZ.

This code is based on a hack initially developed internally for
baylibre by Karl Beldan <kbeldan@...libre.com>.

Tested with a da850-lcdk with an LCD display connected over VGA.

v1 -> v2:
- rebased on top of current drm-next
- removed unnecessary error messages
- removed an extra newline
- added a warning if the effective pixel clock rate differs much from
  the requested rate

v2 -> v3:
- removed WARN_ONCE() in favor of dev_warn()
- added the real and calculated clock rates to the warning message
- tweaked the variable names
- used a local variable to remove redundant 'crtc->mode.clock * 1000'

Retested with

  modetest -M tilcdc -s 26:800x600@...6
  modetest -M tilcdc -s 26:1024x768@...6

using some additional work-in-progress changes on top of this patch.
