S922X Ugoos AM6B Device Tree - Performance/Efficiency - Testing Needed

Okay, did my testing with both my AM6B+ units and got similar results. Sharing one of them…

So, after pushing the new & improved DTB, I didn’t notice much difference from the last ‘enhancement’ I had done, which was to switch to HS400. That had a positive performance impact. Suspicious, I looked at my CoreELEC settings, and noticed the box had reverted to HS200 after doing the above. Switched back to HS400, rebooted, and viola! … yes, noticeably snappier!

Great work @MasterKeyxda! :clap: :raised_hands:
