Hi Patrick,
Sorry for the slow response you caught me taking a few days off :-)

CPU 1 is alive and well but missing the cpufreq driver. The system is
running fine otherwise.
This is a regression introduced by commit
da60ce9f2fa cpufreq: call cpufreq_driver->get() after calling ->init()
So the problem is that ->get() may return 0 in intel_pstate and that causes
the core's _add function to abort? That would mean sample->freq equal to 0,
which shouldn't happen after intel_pstate_sample() called by intel_pstate_init_cpu().
Or am I missing anything?
The problem is that the core has been running less than 1% of the time based on
the absolute values of aperf/mperf and the second sample has not been taken to
get a more precise delta.
I thought about running sample twice during init but didn't want to propose it
until I made sure I was not going to break anything else.
Well, ->setpolicy drivers are a special case anyway, so we can simply skip the
current frequency updates in __cpufreq_add_dev() and cpufreq_update_policy()
for them.
In other words, we can do something like in the patch below I suppose?
