Remove redundant and incorrect multi-vf check for pp clock setting, as
the code path will never be taken. Mask check take care of same.

I suspect there might be a misunderstanding of the code logic here. This is not 
redundant code.
Currently, AMDGPU does not support the multi-vf case, so no sysfs node will be 
created for it.
However, in one-vf mode, for security reasons, setting frequency information 
from the vf side is not allowed.

/* setting should not be allowed from VF if not in one VF mode */

This comment is not inline to this.

The logic before this change "drm/amd/pm: centralize all pp_dpm_xxx 
attribute nodes update cb") also supported set frequency  in 1VF mode.

Thanks,

Therefore, the .store interface is removed and the node permissions are 
configured as read-only.
In conclusion, this segment of code serves a clear purpose and is by no means 
redundant.

v2: Update patch title, Remove the check (Kevin)

Fixes: 166a3c735c95 ("drm/amd/pm: centralize all pp_dpm_xxx attribute
nodes update cb")

You may drop any redundant multivf check in other attr_update calls also.

Thanks,
Lijo
