Whilst there are two things controlling it for a couple of
patches they both set the same value one after another, so it
should be safe. If it goes into the first patch nothing is
controlling the DVFS for a few patches so that actually creates a
bisection issue. It could be squashed into the second last patch
but this way feels cleaner?
