This goes on the opposite direction of the current trends.

Well, I'm a big fan of the parameters, but there's a big effort
going on to remove all kernel parameters. I believe it will
be just a matter of time that we have to remove fbc and psr as well.
So probably not a good idea to add something now that we will
have to rework soon.

Maybe we could add a on/off toggle on DRRS now and then
when we remove the parameter for fbc and psr we also add toggles
on debugfs...

Thanks,
Rodrigo.
