Hi Qais

Sorry for the late reply.

I tested the patch on the "UNISOC T610" platform, and it looks fine.

According to the two cases:
case1:
without patch:
set task's clamp_min=614(60%), clamp_max=819(80%), the result as:
[ 215.780435]c6 uclamp_test :
pid=138,req_min=614,req_max=819,eff_min=614,eff_max=819

after set tg's cpu.uclamp.max = 50%,the result:
[ 420.580443]c6 uclamp_test :
pid=138,req_min=614,req_max=819,eff_min=614,eff_max=512

with patch:
set task's clamp_min=614(60%), clamp_max=819(80%), the result as:
[ 333.533878]c7 uclamp_test :
pid=138,req_min=614,req_max=819,eff_min=614,eff_max=819

after set tg's cpu.uclamp.max = 50%,the result:
[ 430.813789]c6 uclamp_test :
pid=138,req_min=614,req_max=819,eff_min=512,eff_max=512

case2:
without patch:
set task's clamp_min=614(60%), clamp_max=819(80%), the result as:
[ 169.700544]c0 uclamp_test :
pid=137,req_min=0,req_max=209,eff_min=0,eff_max=209

after set tg's cpu.uclamp.min = 30%, tg's cpu.uclamp.max = 50%,the result:
[ 246.500634]c7 uclamp_test :
pid=137,req_min=0,req_max=209,eff_min=307,eff_max=209

with patch:
set task's clamp_min=0(0%), clamp_max=209(20%), the result as:
[ 169.700544]c0 uclamp_test :
pid=137,req_min=0,req_max=209,eff_min=0,eff_max=209

after set tg's cpu.uclamp.min = 30%, tg's cpu.uclamp.max = 50%,the result:
[ 179.933868]c6 uclamp_test :
pid=137,req_min=0,req_max=209,eff_min=307,eff_max=307
