I don't think it's necessary:
1. It doesn't change much (anything?) for me when reading EDID. I don't think 
it's super important to have precise DDC clock in order to properly read EDID.
2. No matter if it has "Cc stable" tag or not, it will be eventually picked 
for stable due to fixes tag.

This was only small observation when I was researching EDID readout issue on 
A20 board, but sadly, I wasn't able to figure out why reading it sometimes 
fails. I noticed similar issue on SoCs with DE2 (most prominently on OrangePi 
PC2 - H5), but there was easy workaround - I just disabled video driver in U-
Boot. However, if A20 display driver gets disabled in U-Boot, it totally 
breaks video output on my TV when Linux boots (no output). I guess there is 
more fundamental problem with clocks than just field size. I think we should 
add more constraints in clock driver, like preset some clock parents and not 
allow to change parents when setting rate, but carefully, so simplefb doesn't 
break. Such constraints should also solve problems with dual head setups.

Best regards,
Jernej
