[PATCH 3/9] amd-pstate: Make certain freq_attrs conditionally visible

From: Gautham R. Shenoy

Date: Fri Mar 06 2026 - 05:00:50 EST


Certain amd_pstate freq_attrs such as amd_pstate_hw_prefcore and
amd_pstate_prefcore_ranking are enabled even when preferred core is
not supported on the platform.

Similarly there are common freq_attrs between the amd-pstate and the
amd-pstate-epp drivers (eg: amd_pstate_max_freq,
amd_pstate_lowest_non_linear_freq, etc.) but are duplicated in two
different freq_attr structs.

Unify all the attributes in a single place and associate each of them
with a visibility function that determines whether the attribute
should be visible based on the underlying platform support and the
current amd_pstate mode.
