The next sentence was literally explaining this :) Fine to debate
that, but ignoring that and asking this question is kinda funny.

You were asking this question in the context of "can the GPU OPP just
list all the range of bandwidth it might use per GPU frequency". My point
is that the range would be useless because it would the entire
available bandwidth range (because purely compute work might not need
any bandwidth).

Whereas, what the GPU's algorithm actually needs might be the list of
"useful" bandwidth levels to use.

Also, as we add more ICC request properties, this range idea will not scale.
