Oh you are right... Looking to the logs and HSD it seems that we still
need the workaround on HSW and BDW, since HSW has no single frame
update and we don't implement on BDW because it requires other 3 W/a...

Maybe we should just disable PSR for the cases VBT tells only link
standby is supported on HSW and BDW.
