We already handle the suspend/restore for these clk registers
in Dp PLL domain. Without the "NOCACHE_FLAG", and if we are requesting 
the same clock rate
for any of the clocks, the set_rate call never reaches the DP PLL Ops.

I am not clear on what you are suggesting for removing the 
"NOCACHE_FLAG" for
the DisplayPort clocks. Are you suggesting design changes in DP PLL 
driver or in dispcc-driver?
Can you please provide more details?

thanks
