I think neither. I'm guessing this behaviour is covered by 'Note: On
mobile products this bit will be ignored such that Trickle Feed is
always disabled.' in the DSP.CNTR spec. And I don't think MI_ARB_STATE
is applicable as it wasn't used for the display block VLV was based
upon.

Being VPN-less I can't actually dig through the VLV bspec to confirm.
