Possibly that would resolve some issues, and that might have been my
mistake in assuming that depending on SIMPLE_ONDEMAND implied a
dependency on DEFREQ (which seems like a reasonable assumption, IMHO)

But AFAICT some kernel configs that could otherwise use DRM_MSM don't
support PM_DEVFREQ.. either way, lets solve this properly and remove
needless dependencies on devfreq.
