Overall, I would do it differently.

I would provide library routine to read desired_perf and it doesn't
need to have anything to do with HiSi at this level. Also, it doesn't
need to be compiled conditionally. Just call it cppc_get_desired_perf()
or similar.

Then, you can use it to implement the quirk in the cpufreq driver.

What is the reason for this to be a user-selectable option?

Is this #ifdef really necessary?
