AFAICT, the version number check is not on the path that is called from 
create_attr_group().

The version number check is in uncore_probe() which then propagates this 
knowledge into read/write_eff_lat_ctrl() using ->elc_supported.

So are you saying ->elc_supported check is not required (added by patch 
2)? It return -EOPNOTSUPP not because of an "IO read failure"??

??

read/write_eff_lat_ctrl() check for ->root_domain and return -ENODATA
if it is true. If that patch from you I linked above is applied, this line 
won't execute on some systems:

	tpmi_uncore->root_cluster.root_domain = true;

Will that cause an issue (for read/write_eff_lat_ctrl())?

My concern here is that misusing error values like this to do 
supported/not-supported check leads to fragility that would not occur
if errors would be treated as hard errors and supported is checked by 
other means (which would be easy here using ->elc_supported, AFAICT).
