I think it's better to just return here.
If feedback counters are successfully read but unchanged, the following
calculation and update in cppc_scale_freq_workfn() is meaningless because it
won't change anything.

This makes sense to me.
Here is probably why Patch 2 looks bulky.

TBH, 'if (!ret)' style looks very strange to me.
We haven't done so anywhere in cppc_cpufreq, so let's keep consistency and make
it easier for people to read and maintain?

will take this.

How about this? merged patch 1 & 2 as well.
