From: Mian Yousaf Kaukab <ykaukab@xxxxxxx>
Since commit 28f06f770454 ("cppc_cpufreq: replace per-cpu structures with
lists"), cppc-cpufreq driver doesn't check availability of PSD data before
registering with cpufreq core. As a result on a ThunderX2 platform when
CPPC is disabled from BIOS, kernel log is spammed with following messages:
[ 180.974166] CPPC Cpufreq: Error in acquiring _CPC/_PSD data for CPUxx
acpi_cppc_processor_probe() never succeed in this case because
acpi_evaluate_object_typed("_CPC") always returns AE_NOT_FOUND. When
cpufreq core calls cppc_cpufreq_cpu_init(), driver fails to obtain PSD data
and print error messages.
Convert cppc-cpufreq driver to a platform driver (done in a separate patch)
and add cppc-cpufreq device when acpi_cppc_processor_probe() succeeds.
Fixes: 28f06f770454 ("cppc_cpufreq: replace per-cpu structures with lists")
