Well I was also somewhat annoyed by the dev_priv->lvds_* stuff and figured
getting rid of that is good - it really should be stored somewhere in
intel_lvds or in the pipe_config. Also given that no one ever really
bothered to fix this up since gen5 (where the bit to change frequency
moved around iirc) I don't think anyone will ever resurrect this. Hence
the much more eager delete.
