This enables the PLL everytime set_rate() is called :/

Audio does the same - PLL is set and enabled afterward. This has been
working so far.

There something to be explained here cause the register have been set
before bailing out. What is happening ? The pokes before have no effect
or are the value being reset at another point ?

I understand this need to address this concern but it does not seems
related to this particular patch.

How about the range provided in here ? This is range documented by AML
(3GHz < DCO < 6GHz). 168 limits would limit the rate to ~4GHz which is
way below spec and would negatively impact audio clocks.
