So, we don't yet support the DFLL upstream. Presumably, the CPU is
always running off PLLX on Tegra114 upstream right now. As such, we can
hard-code that into the resume path just like we do on earlier chips,
i.e. using tegra_cpu_car_ops.resume().

Once we do get DFLL support, presumably the DFLL resume path can switch
the register from PLLX to DFLL, and we still won't need a custom
syscore_ops.

Will that work?

Sorry, when I wrote "doesn't change the clock rate right away", I really
meant "doesn't change the clock *source* right away".
