[PATCH V2 2/2] ufs: ufs-qcom: Fix sequential read variance

From: Nitin Rawat

Date: Tue Aug 25 2026 - 10:52:58 EST


The current devfreq downdifferential threshold of 5% causes overly
aggressive frequency downscaling, leading to performance degradation
sometimes during sequential read workloads.

Update the UFS devfreq downdifferential threshold to 65.
This widens the hysteresis window and prevents overly aggressive
downscaling, ensuring that frequency is maintained for loads above 5%
and scaling down occurs only when utilization falls below this level,
while scale-up still triggers above the 70% threshold.
