which is unreachable given the condition - as this seems to be an
 intentional disabling of that code section as stated in the commit
 message of d967be9b80a5 ("drm/radeon/ci: disable needless sclk changes")
 that introduced that change it should be at least commented
in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/ci_dpm.c at line 3988
3986    } else {
3987        /* XXX check display min clock requirements */
3988        if (CISLAND_MINIMUM_ENGINE_CLOCK !=
CISLAND_MINIMUM_ENGINE_CLOCK)
3989             pi->need_update_smu7_dpm_table |= DPMTABLE_UPDATE_SCLK;

The below patch adds a possibly suitable comment (taken directly from
 commit d967be9b80a5 ("drm/radeon/ci: disable needless sclk changes")
 But I�m not sure if such constructs really should be in the upstream
 kernel at all....
Patch was compile tested with x86_64_defconfig + CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m
Patch is against 4.7.0-rc7 (localversion-next is -next-20160719)
