Subject: ACPI: CPPC: Return error if _CPC is invalid on a CPU
From: Hoan Tran <hotran@xxxxxxx>
commit 8343c40d3de32ebfe8f48b043964e4ba0e7701f7 upstream.
Based on 8.4.7.1 section of ACPI 6.1 specification, if the platform
supports CPPC, the _CPC object must exist under all processor objects.
If cpc_desc_ptr pointer is invalid on any CPUs, acpi_get_psd_map()
should return error and CPPC cpufreq driver can not be registered.
