Should we remove the tests from skl_wm_method{1,2}() now?  I suppose
someone could still use the debugfs interface to set a latency value of
exactly (UINT32_MAX - workaround amount) to make latency wrap around and
hit 0, but I'm not sure if that's really any worse than if they shoot
themselves in the foot by setting a too-low non-zero latency.  I don't
think we divide by latency anywhere.

Either way,
