Setting the DSI PLL src in probe doesn't provide the clock
driver sufficient time to reclaim unused clock resources
from coreboot resulting in warnings from clock driver.

Move the DSI PLL src setting to modeset_init() so that the
clock driver can claim unused display clock resources before
the display driver requests for them again.
IMHO this is a bad design.  Sean and Stephen can feel free to override
me, but I think the clock driver should be improved to handle this
case and not require the clock to get disabled before Linux enables
it.
I experimented with it a while back[1] (in this case w/ lk lighting up
the display).  In that case I needed both the clk and gdsc code to
realize that clks/gdsc's were on at boot, and fixup the refcnt of the
clks (and parent clocks and so on).  And then when probed the display
driver would check if clocks were enabled to decide to readback the
state from the hw.  (Maybe you can short-circuit some of that if you
only care about DSI panels with a single fixed resolution, but as soon
as external displays come into the picture you can't assume so much
about the hw  state.)

It seems like something like that is the right real solution here, but
I guess someone needs to step up and work on it.

...in general I'm wary of any patch that will not work when
"clk_ignore_unused" is passed as a command line parameter.  It's
useful to be able to use this command line parameter for debugging
sometimes and it would be unfortunate if doing so spewed a bunch of
extra warnings.


On a side node, it appears that even without ${SUBJECT} patch the
warnings seem to have gone away with the latest stack of patches I've
been testing.  The warnings don't even come back with
"clk_ignore_unused".  I haven't personally dug into why, but I figured
I'd mention it.
