Currently framework sets bw even when init bw requirements are zero during
provider registration, thus resulting bulk of set bw to hw.
Avoid this behaviour by skipping provider set bw calls if init bw is zero.

I have the same comment/question for this patch that I had for the qcom arch specific version of it. This patch seems to be doing at a higher level what the patch below was doing at a lower level.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1039a507-c4cd-e92f-dc29-1e2169ce5078@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#m0c90588d0d1e2ab88c39be8f5f3a8f0b61396349

what happens to earlier silicon - qcom silicon which previously made explicit zero requests ?

Isn't it a better idea to let lower layer drivers differentiate what they do ?

For example on pre 5.4 qcom kernel silicon we might choose to set the value to zero "because that's what the reference code did" but on newer silicon we might opt to skip the zero configuration ?

I'm happy to be shown the error of my ways but, absent testing to *show* it doesn't impact existing legacy silicon, I think we should be wary of this change.
