Yes, the clamp group 0 is (should be) initialized to track the system
default values:

util_min = 0 and util_max = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE

but...

... you are right hereafter: there are still some lose points.

No, it's not correct... and it's similar to the issue you already
raised for the refcounting decrement on task exit.

I'm working on v4 to review and fixup all the lose points and missing
initializations (like in this case) related to the clamp groups
mapping refcounting.

Thanks for pointing this out!

Best,
