You mean something like the IPA clock that must be active to do the QoS
writes?

Wouldn't it already crash before .sync_state() then, when the initial
max bandwidth votes are being made?

Ack, so I guess you're going to add them together with the actual
consumers?

I think the patch itself is fine. Only the commit message is a bit
misleading. The actual change that is being done here is enabling the
bandwidth scaling (dropping the max bandwidth votes after
.sync_state()). Can you try to clarify the commit message a bit?

Thanks,
Stephan
