Thanks for the clear explanation. While there are no explicit constraint
in the maximum voltage subtraction in the SVS driver, I have
confirmed that the fuse data of MT8395 is written in a way that the SVS
driver would never go lower than the minimum recommended operating
voltage of DVDD_GPU in the datasheet[1], which supplies power to the
Mali IP.
I have sent patch v2 to remove the always-on property and add a note
about the fuse(eFuse) data in [2].
