Rather than exposing actual OA timestamp frequency to userspace (with the
corresponding uapi change, specially if it's only DG2 and not all future
products) questions about a couple of other options:

Option 1. Can we set CTC_SHIFT in RPM_CONFIG0 to 3, so change GT freq to be the
          same as OA freq :-)

   The HSD seems to mention this:
   Is setting CTC SHIFT to 0b11 on driver init an acceptable W/A?
   Note: Changing the shift setting on live driver may break apps that are
   currently running (including desktop manager).

Option 2. Is it possible to correct the timestamps in OA report headers to
          compensate for the difference between OA and GT frequencies (say when
          copying OA data to userspace)?

	  Though not sure if this is preferable to having userspace do this.

A couple of minor optional nits on that patch below too.

This can be:
		shift = REG_FIELD_GET(GEN10_RPM_CONFIG0_CTC_SHIFT_PARAMETER_MASK, reg);

div_u64_roundup?

Thanks.
