Summary: Request for Adaptive Sync High/Low Bias setting.

SUMMARY
I'm asking for the option when using Adaptive Sync Always to have a sub-option
to select a refresh rate bias; "High" to hold the refresh rate as high as the
selected Display Configuration Refresh Rate option allows, possibly using the
same code that is used now when Adaptive Sync is off but without switching the
flag off(?) and "Low" to maintain the setting's current behaviour.
The reason I'm seeking this function is that per this:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/4046 when running Adaptive Sync
Automatic my screen blacks out every time Adaptive Sync toggles (every time I
alt+tab in or out of a game, every time I toggle fullscreen on a youtube or
other video) and is therefore unusable and per this:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477016 with the existing bias toward low
refresh rates causes my screen to cycle through the refresh range, see:
https://youtu.be/nj7FB1_pWw8 and produces a horrible flickering effect on
account of the resulting brightness changes. I also accept the logic though of
wanting to keep power costs down, hence asking for an option rather than a
change so everyone can win.
