Running DPU clock in turbo is a requirement to support 4k@60 otherwise 
the pixel rate that high cannot be supported.

sc7280 chrome devices already limit to HBR2

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230329233416.27152-1-quic_abhinavk@quicinc.com/

So the DPU will not vote more than nominal.

And like others wrote, limiting SOC frequencies is not the way and we 
should filter out required frequencies using link-frequencies.

Hence fwiw, I am fine with this change.
