So again, why this useless helper function for a single call site?

And why is this not fixed __BEFORE__ this patch? You can do the
changes to struct intel_cqm_state in a seperate patch and then do the
proper implementation from the beginning instead of providing a half
broken variant which gets replaced in the next patch.
