[PATCH] drm/lima: add governor data with pre-defined thresholds

[Christian Hewitt <christianshewitt@gmail.com>]

This patch adapts the panfrost pre-defined thresholds change [0] to the
lima driver to improve real-world performance. The upthreshold value has
been set to ramp GPU frequency to max freq faster (compared to panfrost)
to compensate for the lower overall performance of utgard devices.

I have been using Kodi as my test application. If you scroll in library
views with hundreds of list items and the panfrost values the slow GPU
ramp up is quite noticeable and the GUI feels sluggish. As everything
lima runs on is inherently slower than panfrost using devices I believe
it's better to ramp up to max freq quicker.
