I have a clone of some msm-4.9 on my ssd and it roughly matches this
patch

However

In docs, I see a version with only CPU_SS, MODEM and MMUHWT left
(your settings here seem to match), dated later than the last commit
to llcc-sdm670.c in that downstream kernel clone..

Because this SoC seems to only have 512KiB of LLC in total, it may
be that it was found in testing for that configuration to have a
better perf profile

Could you please give it a shot and check if you see any immediate
gains/losses?

I don't notice a difference outside the margin of error. The Unixbench
workload reported 4550.4 with all configs, and 4550.9 with only
LLCC_CPUSS, LLCC_MDM, and LLCC_MMUHWT. My 15-second workload on
Hexagon/CDSP was half a second faster when commenting out the cache use
cases.

I don't see better startup times either.

Okay, let's stick with the one you posted then. I (briefly) skimmed
through it and seems to be in line with that aforementioned downstream
tree

Does the EDAC driver crash the device?

Yes, this is needed if the EDAC driver is an available module.
