Jesse Barnes b9945e752a drm/i915: remove render reclock support
commit cda9d05c49 upstream.

This code generally fails to adjust the render clock, and when it does,
it conflicts with some other register settings and can cause problems.

So remove this code altogether.  I'm reworking it now to do the right
thing, but the only bit it will share is the VBT check for whether
reclocking is supported, so I'm leaving that bit.

Reverts most of 652c393a33 ("add dynamic
clock frequency control"), though for many the regressions showed up
in the later 181a5336d6 ("Fix render
reclock availability detection").

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
