For my own edification, I read the specs again (because of the RPS
fallout) and the VIDEO_FREQ is simply an alternate to the normal boost
frequency that we can select either manually or via the pcu for media
workloads. We however combine the media workload into overall GPU
activity and so only manage the single RPS frequency.

Therefore this patch is the right thing to do.
