This patch seems to help when combined with "RADEON_PLL_USE_FRAC_FB_DIV |
RADEON_PLL_PREFER_CLOSEST_HIGHER |RADEON_PLL_NO_ODD_POST_DIV".

For now after a single session of 2h, it even seems more stable than ums (where
occasional losses of images happen maybe every 20-30mins on average).

I've tried other combinations as well with various success:

- RADEON_PLL_PREFER_CLOSEST_LOWER => unstable-ish
- RADEON_PLL_USE_FRAC_FB_DIV => black
- RADEON_PLL_PREFER_CLOSEST_LOWER | RADEON_PLL_USE_FRAC_FB_DIV => not very
stable
- RADEON_PLL_PREFER_CLOSEST_HIGHER => not stable
- RADEON_PLL_USE_FRAC_FB_DIV | RADEON_PLL_PREFER_CLOSEST_HIGHER => not stable

I can provide the registers for the different tests if that could be of any
uses.
