It looks like on 8998 we have some GPU OPPs that are not integer # of
KHz.. although that would not change the integer math result unless
factor > 10.

We are a bit aways for 32b overflow (highest freq for current things
is 825MHz, but I guess we could see things closer to 1GHz in the
future.. generally GPUs aren't clocked nearly as high as CPUs.. slow
but wide, and all that).. but maybe this should just be 64b math
instead to be safe?

Looks like 658f4c829688 ("drm/msm/devfreq: Add 1ms delay before
clamping freq") was badly rebased on top of efb8a170a367 ("drm/msm:
Fix devfreq NULL pointer dereference on a3xx").. I'll send a separate
patch to fix that
