This misses the dpu_hw_sspp.c, which uses ubwc_config from msm_mdss.c
(but the config isn't being updated with the acquired HBB value).

I'd suggest behaving it slightly differntly: can we please have a helper
module (in drivers/soc/qcom) which would return UBWC configuration data.
We can start with HBB values, migrating the rest of UBWC-related flags
one by one.

Also, were you able to solve the issue of the platforms where GPU and
MDSS disagreed upon HBB data?
