I guess we could have a smarter way to check if two configurations are
compatible than the current memcmp(). I.e., a platform hook that takes two PLL
configs and either returns a merged configuration that satisfy both or signal
failure. That way we could only enable the high speed clock for CRT if really
necessary.

But meh, sounds like too much work for very little gain.

The documentation indeed doesn't say anything about not enabling this with CRT,
so
