Do we really still need this patch on upstream?
- It reads the synchronous punit wait loops which we've killed in

	    drm/i915: Kill vlv_update_rps_cur_delay()

- It seems to only set the gpu to the lowest freq (RPe which is RPe after
  your previous patch), which we already do since Chris sw-controlled
  throttle/de-throttle work.

Iirc both of these aren't in the current vlv android tree. If we indeed
need a special dance to whack the gpu into Vmin then I think we need a bit
more comments (and I'd prefer if we have an explicit check for Vmin
instead of going through the rps delay and hoping for the best).
