i am not aware of any other SWF register used for cdclk related flow so 
cant help there.
had a discussion with local folks and it seems like  there is
no easy way out atleast for BDW.

SKL register using literal values is helpful in
verifying against available set.

my best guess would be to handle it for BDW is as follows
if BIT0:1 == 0 && current_cdclk != 450MHz
           we are not in intel GOP driver so take the current clock as max
if BIT0:1 == 0 && current_cdclk == 450MHz
         cant say which GOP driver was used, so limit to current clock 
as max
if BIT0:1 != 0
        probability of some other component setting these two bits is 
very low :)
        so assume that we are in intel gop driver and trust the value.
         we have checks to limit clock for the SKU so it should not be a 
problem
        to trust the value in register.
