This looks like a workaround for real problem. Workaround for only
this specific case and specific device. Other components might hit you
later... other boards might experience this as well. These are valid
OPP and they probably could be used when Mixer is not used (e.g. no
DRM or no HDMI cable plugged in) or when lower resolution is being
used.

Instead PM QoS interface should be used:
