Well then we really should just throw away the freq table here and have
rcg ops that pass the frequency up to the display PLL. Also, those
numbers look like gigabits per second (Gbit/s) for the DP spec which
isn't exactly the same as a clk frequency. What frequency does the PLL
run at for these various DP link speeds?
