[PATCH v1 12/24] media: rkvdec: Stop overclocking the decoder

[Nicolas Dufresne <nicolas.dufresne@collabora.com>]

While this overclock hack seems to works on some implementation (some
ChromeBooks, RockPi4) it is also causing instability on other
implementation (notably LibreComputer Renegade, but saw more reports in
the LibreELEC project, were this is already removed). While performance is
indeed affectied (tested with GStreamer), 4K playback still works as long
as you don't operate in lock step and keep at least 1 frame ahead of time
in the decode queue.

After discussion with ChromeOS members, it would seem that their
implementation indeed synchronously decode each frames, so this hack was
simply compensating for their code being less efficienti. This hack
should in my opinion have stayed downstream and I'm removing it to ensure
stability across all RK3399 variants.
