I just noticed this. This option shouldn't cause any problem, if it does there
might be a bug that we need to fix.

So cpu.uclamp.min reads 0 but you think it's not taking effect, correct?

In the quotes above I see 5.4 RC, if you haven't tried this against the final
5.4 release, do you mind trying to see if you can reproduce? Trying 5.5-rc2
would be helpful too if 5.4 fails.

Thanks
