I had thought we had taken that out a while ago...

    drm/i915: Restore current RPS state after reset

removes the frobbing inside i915_reset() itself, but still talks about
RPS needing to be restored... Ok, that's the post-reset stuff to make
sure that the hw/sw tracking align.

We are not touching rc6/rps prior to hitting GDRST. Maybe we should?
(Unless I'm blind and overlooked something in the reset.)
