Hello Georgi,

Returning zeros doesn't allow us to skip the initialization that is done
by provider->set(node, node) in icc_node_add(). It will reconfigure
memory latency in accordance to a zero memory bandwidth, which is wrong
to do.

It actually should be more preferred to preset bandwidth to a maximum
before all drivers are synced, but this should be done only once we will
wire up all drivers to use ICC framework. For now it's safer to keep the
default hardware configuration untouched.
