[PATCH 2/9] amd-pstate: Update cppc_req_cached in fast_switch case

From: Gautham R. Shenoy

Date: Fri Mar 06 2026 - 05:00:22 EST


The function msr_update_perf() does not cache the new value that is
written to MSR_AMD_CPPC_REQ into the variable cpudata->cppc_req_cached
when the update is happening from the fast path.

Fix that by caching the value everytime the MSR_AMD_CPPC_REQ gets
updated.

This issue was discovered by Claude Opus 4.6 with the aid of Chris
Mason's AI review-prompts
