We do not write the PLL registers when it comes to TBT Mode that is done by the 
TBT dock.
Since the VDR register are shadow registers our shadow registers will never 
have those values. Which
Means we will always have a state mismatch.
This has always been the case since SNPS PHY.
Check intel_cx0pll_compare_hw_state int intel_cx0_phy.c too
