The GMU is able to vote for bandwidth, and presumably RPMh is 
aggregating those votes with the votes from the interconnect driver. We 
need to be able to fill out the "struct a6xx_hfi_msg_bw_table" in 
drivers/gpu/drm/msm/adreno/a6xx_hfi.h, which has a table of DDR 
bandwidth cmds which can be selected when changing the GPU frequency 
(the bw field in a6xx_hfi_gx_bw_perf_vote_cmd).

 From Jordan: "the GMU registers a bus vote directly with the hardware. 
It should handle aggregation for us."
