Probably would be nice to put at least a note to say based on
David's patches.

This will blat whatever the user set in the DRE switch.
Technically blats the CLASS H enable from the DAPM widget too,
but as that always turns on should be a no-op. Probably should
either not register the DRE switch or have setting it return an
error for these boost modes.

This feels kinda scary, in that you are relying on a 1 to 1
correspondence between this code running and getting a PLL lock
signal. The datasheet is helpfully completely vague on when PLL
locks are triggered.

The PLL enable seems to be set through set_sysclk, which could
be called multiple times, per DAPM power up.  Does the PLL
lock only go once global enable has been set? Can't help
but wonder if a reinit_completion should probably go somewhere
to ensure we are getting this lock of the PLL not a past one.

If you fall into any of the error cases in this IRQ handler above
this, it will blat values you don't want into BST_EN although, to
be fair that does look currently broken for external boost as
well.
