Does the print tell us anything? Right now it prints 8 lines where it
feels like it could be trimmed down:

           [drm:dpu_vbif_set_qos_remap] vbif:0 xin:0 lvl:0/3
           [drm:dpu_vbif_set_qos_remap] vbif:0 xin:0 lvl:1/3
           [drm:dpu_vbif_set_qos_remap] vbif:0 xin:0 lvl:2/4
           [drm:dpu_vbif_set_qos_remap] vbif:0 xin:0 lvl:3/4
           [drm:dpu_vbif_set_qos_remap] vbif:0 xin:0 lvl:4/5
           [drm:dpu_vbif_set_qos_remap] vbif:0 xin:0 lvl:5/5
           [drm:dpu_vbif_set_qos_remap] vbif:0 xin:0 lvl:6/6
           [drm:dpu_vbif_set_qos_remap] vbif:0 xin:0 lvl:7/6

maybe one line that combines the index into values?

           [drm:dpu_vbif_set_qos_remap] vbif:0 xin:0 [3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6]

But again I have no idea if this print is really useful. Maybe we can
print it only if the value changes from what was already there?
Basically move the print into dpu_hw_set_qos_remap() and then skip out
early if nothing changed or print and modify the register.

Sounds great! Can you send the patch?
