Subject: drm/radeon/dpm: disable ss on Cayman

From: Alex Deucher <[email protected]>

commit c745fe611ca42295c9d91d8e305d27983e9132ef upstream.

Spread spectrum seems to cause hangs when dynamic clock
switching is enabled.  Disable it for now. This does not
affect performance or the amount of power saved. Tracked
down by Martin Andersson.
