We do a full state readout, which should tell us what voltage we need.
And if the cdclk isn't even enabled, then obviously we can't have any
pipes running either, so we can safely enable it with any frequency
even before the full state readout.

Hmm. OK, so maybe we can change the voltage while things are up and
running.

That said, the voltage level is a global thing, so whenever we change it
we must consider the state of all ports, and the cdclk. This looks like
it only considers the current port. Thus if we first enable a port that
needs high voltage, and later a port that can make due with a lower
voltage we'll end up with something not working.

We migth also end up changing the voltage multiple times if we enable
multiple ports with one atomic operation. If things went via the normal
cdclk path we'd just do the voltage change the once.

Additonally I don't like that the code is getting the current clock by
means of readout in the middle the modeset. With atomic the design is
pretty much to pass all state in explicitly, and readout is only used
to take over the from the BIOS, and to verify that we programmed the
hardware correctly.

Hmm. What exactly are we missing?
