Does something like the below (not even compile tested) get dpu back in order?

That way we could perhaps still move ahead with removing the hacks
from shared helpers, and msm-dpu can keep doing what it does. The
other hunk is in a function that dpu code doesn't even use, so can't
see how that would change anything.
