A bit of a tangent, but this reminded me of this old patch:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1623855954-6970-1-git-send-email-yt.chang@mediatek.com/

I think we have a bit too many moving cogs that might be creating undesired
compound effect.

Should we consider removing margins in favour of improving util ramp up/down?
(whether via util_est or pelt hf).

Only worry is lower end devices; but it seems to me better improve util
response and get rid of these magic numbers - if we can. Having the ability to
adjust them at runtime will help defer the trade-offs to sys admins.


Thanks
