E.g. the CPU bwmons have a default high threshold set to 4.8 Gbps, which
is very easy to achieve on LLCC<->DDR, but on older SoC where the bwmon
monitors CPU<->DDR, this is often near half of the max throughput.

Hm, considering that just booting the kernel should be enough to trigger
an interrupt to go above FMIN, perhaps setting the mid value equal to
the high value could work as well? We're gonna receive an interrupt
in zones 2 and 3, but only the latter one will be considered.
Quick test on 8998 shows this could work!
