Ok, so it appears to have disappeared in more recent hardware. I'm
betting that with PCH hardware, there is always a CK505 source to use,
so the BIOS just uses it unconditionally and may not actually be
configured in the VBT.

It's not the best, it's just yet another source of information :-)

So, what I think we should be doing is using display_clock_mode to
select between ck505 and internal clock source on pre-PCH hardware. For
PCH hardware, we unconditionally use the ck505 source for the non-SSC
reference. When we need to drive two outputs and are *not* using ck505,
then we disable SSC.

Seem reasonable?
