right now, it is something that only exists in downstream kernels (for
example, android device kernels).. but in those kernels it is
mandatory to use, as by default the memory/bus is downclocked and the
display would underflow if we did not request sufficient bandwidth.

It only exists right now in the upstream kernel to simplify
backporting to various device kernels
