Yeah, basically both of these were by me and landed at the same time
through different trees; they were developed at different times and
the reviews just happened to conclude at the same moment. The reason
why they go through different trees is that the bitmap changes are
part of a large refactor across several drivers to make them use a
shared macro instead of reinventing their own, whereas the devfreq
side of the changes is functional changes to add LPDDR5 support and
also fix the cycle count on RK3588.

Dropping the bitmap tree changes of this driver is fine by me. I can
send a rebased patch of that for the next merge window to do the move
from the driver's own macro to the shared macro. The functional
change in the devfreq tree is more important to get in.
