There seems to be some undocumented bandwidth
bottleneck/dependency which scales with CDCLK,
causing FIFO underruns when CDCLK is too low,
even when it's correct from BSpec point of view.

Currently for TGL platforms we calculate
min_cdclk initially based on pixel_rate divided
by 2, accounting for also plane requirements,
however in some cases the lowest possible CDCLK
doesn't work and causing the underruns.

Explicitly stating here that this seems to be currently
rather a Hack, than final solution.

v2: Use clamp operation instead of min(Matt Roper)

We probably want one more sentence here explaining the (somewhat blunt)
workaround we're actually applying with this patch.  E.g., "We've found
experimentally that raising cdclk to at least pixel_rate (rather than
pixel_rate/2) eliminates these underruns, so let's use this as a
temporary workaround until the hardware team can suggest a more precise
remedy."

I believe we're trying to start using "Closes:" rather than "Bugzilla:"
as the tag here now that the bug database isn't actually bugzilla
anymore.

Anyway, the patch does what it aims to do and eliminates the underruns
that are crippling us at the moment (at the expense of some higher power
usage), so with an updated commit message, this is

I don't think you can do that even as a hack. By clamping the required
minimum to the max cdclk, you lose the check below. Can't do that.

clamp_t() is neater.
