Also, based on function mtk_cpufreq_hw_target_index(), which looks
really simple, you might consider to have fast_switch enabled.

It will allow SchedUtil governor to change frequency directly
and not create a dedicated deadline thread for it. It pays off.

You have to experiment with something like:

policy->fast_switch_possible  = true;


static struct cpufreq_driver cpufreq_mtk_hw_driver = {
...
	.fast_switch = mtk_cpufreq_hw_fast_switch
...
}

Again, scmi-cpufreq.c would be a good pattern to follow.
