[PATCH v2] cpufreq: amd-pstate-ut: fix null pointer dereference
From: Qianheng Peng
Date: Wed Jul 15 2026 - 05:42:08 EST
The crash issue may occur when insmod amd_pstate_ut module on intel platform.
amd_pstate_ut: 1 amd_pstate_ut_acpi_cpc_valid success!
amd_pstate_ut: 2 amd_pstate_ut_check_enabled success!

</TASK>
Add invalidation check of cpudata in amd_pstate_ut_check_perf() and
amd_pstate_ut_check_freq() to avoid unpredicated null pointer dereference.
Otherwise, add driver name detection for amd_pstate_ut driver to prevent it
from testing cpufreq driver on non-amd platform.
Fixes: 14eb1c96e3a3 ("cpufreq: amd-pstate: Add test module for amd-pstate driver")

v2:
- Print policy->cpu instead of policy->kboj.name
- Add cpufreq driver name detection to amd_pstate_ut
