I still think that this effective thing is backwards.

The existing code already used @value and @bucket_id as 'effective' and
you're now changing all that again. This really doesn't make sense to
me.

Also; if you don't add it inside struct uclamp_se, but add a second
instance,

you can avoid horrors like this and simply return a struct uclamp_se by
value.
