min_cdclk is initially set to DIV_ROUND_UP(crtc_state->pixel_rate, 2),
and then only potentially increases from there, so we're really just
checking for equality here, right (the "<" case is impossible)?  Should
we worry that one of the other checks (audio, planes, etc.) might have
just slightly bumped up min_cdclk, causing this condition to fail, but
not bumping it far enough to get us into the seemingly-safe zone?

Maybe it would be simpler/safer to just do something like

        /* HACK */
        if (IS_TIGERLAKE(dev_priv))
                min_cdclk = clamp(min_cdclk,
                                  crtc_state->pixel_rate,
                                  dev_priv->max_cdclk_freq);

which seems closer to the true goal of the workaround?

Regardless, we should probably also have a code comment on whatever we
come up with just like we do on all the other min_cdclk adjustments,
especially since this one is a hack that doesn't actually match the
bspec.
