Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Currently the dtsi enforces bumping the MDP clock when the mdss device
is being probed and when the dpu device is being probed.
Later during the DPU lifetime the core_perf would change the clock's
rate as it sees fit according to the CRTC requirements.

However it would happen only when the during the
dpu_crtc_atomic_flush(), before we call this function, the MDP clock
is left in the undetermined state. The power rails controlled by the
opp table are left in the undetermined state.

I suppose that during the dpu_bind we should bump the clock to the max
possible freq and let dpu_core_perf handle it afterwards.
