Thank you for the lengthy explanation. May I suggest another solution:
  - Apply 
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-msm/010101750064e17e-3db0087e-fc37-494d-aac9-2c2b9b0a7c5b-000000@us-west-2.amazonses.com/

  - And make save_state for 7nm and 10nm cache vco freq (like 14nm does).

What do you think?
