Are you actually experiencing any problems?  I think the error message may be
harmless can could probably be removed.

There is no real balanced state.  It's either battery or performance depending
on whether the chip is on ac or dc power.  The only real states you can switch
between are performance and battery.  I need to see the output of our dmesg
with radeon.dpm=1 to see what states your vbios provides.

sclk is the 3D engine clock.  mclk is the memory clock.  mclk switching is
disabled when multiple displays are active since the switch has to happen
during the display's vblank period otherwise you'd see display glitches.  With
multiple displays, the vblank periods are not likely to align so mclk switching
is disabled.
