Yes, looks like that's the case, but also it's only for BIMC, not
for NOC:

https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/la/kernel/msm-3.18/-/blob/LA.BR.1.2.9-00810-8x09.0/drivers/platform/msm/msm_bus/msm_bus_noc.c#L246

Moreover, it only concerns QoS parameters that are not supported on
mainline (Grant Period, Grant Count, Threshold Lo/Me/Hi) [1], so that
pretty much addresses your worries, I think..

And FWIW that's definitely not the case anymore for QNOC (and BIMC
for that matter) on msm-5.4:

[1] Note: msm8939 seems to be a somewhat heavy user of these properties,
maybe it would be worth looking into implementing them?
