amd-pstate: Program minimum frequency to lowest non-linear frequency

Although the system will save more power at lower frequency, AMD SoCs
have a point when they can operate most efficiently called the lowest
non-linear frequency.

Program the minimum frequency to this value in balanced and performance
modes to improve responsiveness.
