Didn't notice this comment, but, having a check, I think it still fits.
'!delta_reference' avoids divide-by zero, and '!delta_delivered' checks
invalid delivered_perf.

So I think we just leave it unchanged.

Sure. What about adding the following comment:

/* -EFAULT indicates that any of the associated CPPC regs is 0. */
