You should be checking for pp_dpm_sclk here, for example:
                if (DEVICE_ATTR_IS(pp_dpm_sclk) {

Otherwise I am pretty sure you're setting this for every single file. And is it only sclk? Or does it also need to affect mclk/fclk/etc? If it's only sclk, the line above should help. If it's for more, then the commit should try to clarify that as it's not 100% clear.
