I was going to gently ping you, while I've realized that you
are not on CC list :( I don't know what happened, my apologies.

Shell I resend this patch set so you can have it in a proper way
in your mailbox?

Could you have a look at this, please?

This is getting more attention, since in Android we have a
daemon which can now communicate with the kernel and send
those Uclamp values on behalf of an unprivileged app.
