Thanks!

My understanding is that this is still useful if there are drivers in the
pipeline that rely on s_power instead of rpm (a typical case could be an
old sensor driver). So that's why this is kept around, but all other components
of the pipeline (isp/csi/mipi csi-2) are using rpm now.

Cheers,

Paul
