radeon: Regression between v3.6-rc4 and v3.6-rc6: unable to allocate a PPLL

[Andres Freund]

Hi,

While debugging another issue I upgraded from v3.6-rc4 to latest git (which 
exactly is v3.6-rc6). After X started up one of my three monitors blacked out. 
A look into the kernel log revealed:
[drm:radeon_atom_pick_pll] *ERROR* unable to allocate a PPLL

During that first start I tried to correct that using xrand, which failed. 
After restarting X (gdm) once more the monitor was still blank, the error was 
still logged, but could be enabled by using xrandr. A bit strange.

A quick look into git revealed:

$ git log --pretty=short v3.6-rc4.. drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/

    drm/radeon: make 64bit fences more robust v3

commit 985f61f7ee647ad570c05eab0b74915da2ac8e19

    drm/radeon: rework pll selection (v3)

The latter seems to be a probably cause. Anything I can do to diagnose the 
issue?
