Is that true ?

Taking the example of

static struct qcom_icc_node bimc_snoc_slv = {
         .name = "bimc_snoc_slv",
         .id = MSM8939_BIMC_SNOC_SLV,
         .buswidth = 16,
         .mas_rpm_id = -1,
         .slv_rpm_id = 2,
         .num_links = ARRAY_SIZE(bimc_snoc_slv_links),
         .links = bimc_snoc_slv_links,
};

#define NOC_QOS_MODE_INVALID -1
ap_owned == false
qos_mode == NOC_QOS_MODE_FIXED


if (!qn->qos.ap_owned) {
	/* bod: this will run */
	/* send bandwidth request message to the RPM processor */
	ret = qcom_icc_rpm_set(qn->mas_rpm_id, qn->slv_rpm_id, sum_bw);
	if (ret)
		return ret;
} else if (qn->qos.qos_mode != -1) {
	/* bod: this will not run */
	/* set bandwidth directly from the AP */
	ret = qcom_icc_qos_set(n, sum_bw);
	if (ret)
		return ret;
}

and your proposed change

if (!qn->qos.ap_owned) {
	/* bod: this will run */
	/* send bandwidth request message to the RPM processor */
	ret = qcom_icc_rpm_set(qn->mas_rpm_id, qn->slv_rpm_id, sum_bw);
	if (ret)
		return ret;
}

if (qn->qos.qos_mode != NOC_QOS_MODE_INVALID) {
	/* bod: this will run */
	/* set bandwidth directly from the AP */
	ret = qcom_icc_qos_set(n, sum_bw);
	if (ret)
		return ret;
}

however if we look downstream we have the concept of ap_owned

https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/la/kernel/msm-3.18/-/blob/LA.BR.1.2.9-00810-8x09.0/drivers/platform/msm/msm_bus/msm_bus_fabric_adhoc.c#L194

https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/la/kernel/msm-3.18/-/blob/LA.BR.1.2.9-00810-8x09.0/drivers/platform/msm/msm_bus/msm_bus_fabric_adhoc.c#L208

In simple terms
if (node_info->ap_owned) {
	ret = fabdev->noc_ops.set_bw(node_info,
									} else {
	ret = send_rpm_msg(node_device);
}

I agree your code does what it says on the tin but, whats the overall 
justification to depart from the downstream logic ?
