I see the "Drop the assigned clock rate property" part, but where is
the "and vote on the mdp clock" part? Did it already land or
something? I definitely see that commit 5752c921d267 ("drm/msm/dpu:
simplify clocks handling") changed a bunch of this but it looks like
dpu_core_perf_init() still sets "max_core_clk_rate" to whatever the
clock was at bootup. I assume you need to modify that function to call
into the OPP layer to find the max frequency?

Having a "Fixes" is good, but presumably you need a code change along
with this, right? Otherwise if someone picks this back to stable then
they'll end up breaking, right? We need to tag / note that _somehow_.
