Yup. This is not needed for Idleness as fb tracking will keep the DRRS 
at High refresh rate.
But at content based DRRS, we had some concern from android Userspace 
team that we cant
support content based DRRS for cloned modes (eDP + HDMI or DSI + HDMI).

Of course at this point in time, we can enable the DRRS for all 
scenarios and test. Based on results we can plan ahead.
