It happens whenever there is an mclk transition based on GPU load.

I'm not sure how reliable mclk switching was on rv770 boards in general.  Most
rv770 boards I've seen have the same mclk for all performance levels.  You
might try adjusting the value of CG_DISPLAY_GAP_CNTL in
rv770_program_display_gap().  Maybe try R600_PM_DISPLAY_GAP_VBLANK_OR_WM or
R600_PM_DISPLAY_GAP_WATERMARK rather than R600_PM_DISPLAY_GAP_VBLANK for
DISP1_GAP_MCHG, but I don't think it will make a difference.
