If I understand the logic correctly *_configure_dp_phy() will both
configure the vco clock and "request" the clock framework to change the
rate.

So I presume what you're suggesting is that that would be the place to
cast the CX corner vote?

On the bright side, it's wonderful that we're at a point where this is
not only a theoretical problem :)
