Tested on MT8183 Juniper (Kukui-based device), MT8192 Hayato (Asurada-based),
and MT8195 Tomato (Cherry-based).

GPU probed. When running glmark-es2-drm, observed state transitions in
/sys/class/devfreq/13040000.gpu/trans_stat , as well as actual changes to
values for regulators and clocks.

Tested-by: Chen-Yu Tsai <wenst@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Also observed that sometimes when glmark terminated, the GPU would not be
brought down to the lowest OPP.
