As mentioned in the commit message
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-sunxi@googlegroups.com/msg07884.html
the hardcoded assumptions in the sunxi-3.4 kernel are still bad
with or without this revert if somebody tries to use higher DRAM
clock speeds.
The patch in question just smokes out bugs, which are otherwise still
there.
Going forward, the mainline kernel needs the G2D driver and it needs
to run at a decent clock speed to be provide reasonable performance.
Low PLL5P clock speed is limiting our options.
This revert does not do anyone any favour and only postpones the
resolution of the problem.
