Timur Kristóf 4724bc5b8d drm/amd/pm/smu7: Add SCLK cap for quirky Hawaii board
On a specific Radeon R9 390X board, the GPU can "randomly" hang
while gaming. Initially I thought this was a RADV bug and tried
to work around this in Mesa:
commit 8ea08747b86b ("radv: Mitigate GPU hang on Hawaii in Dota 2 and RotTR")

However, I got some feedback from other users who are reporting
that the above mitigation causes a significant performance
regression for them, and they didn't experience the hang on their
GPU in the first place.

After some further investigation, it turns out that the problem
is that the highest SCLK DPM level on this board isn't stable.
Lowering SCLK to 1040 MHz (from 1070 MHz) works around the issue,
and has a negligible impact on performance compared to the Mesa
patch. (Note that increasing the voltage can also work around it,
but we felt that lowering the SCLK is the safer option.)

To solve the above issue, add an "sclk_cap" field to smu7_hwmgr
and set this field for the affected board. The capped SCLK value
correctly appears on the sysfs interface and shows up in GUI
tools such as LACT.
