> Why does this depend on CONFIG_ACPI_CPU_FREQ_PSS?

call_on_cpu() was only used in processor_throttling.c which has,

processor-$(CONFIG_ACPI_CPU_FREQ_PSS)   += processor_throttling.o

after this patch, it will also be used in cstate.c which has,

ifneq ($(CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR),)
obj-y                           += cstate.o
endif

i.e.,

config ACPI_PROCESSOR
        tristate "Processor"
        depends on X86 || IA64 || ARM64
        select ACPI_PROCESSOR_IDLE
        select ACPI_CPU_FREQ_PSS if X86 || IA64

Therefore, call_on_cpu() is only used when CONFIG_ACPI_CPU_FREQ_PSS=y.

The #ifdef is rather a safe net that in the future, if we decided to make call_on_cpu()
a  non-inline function, it will prevent triggering an compilation warning for unused
function when CONFIG_ACPI_CPU_FREQ_PSS=n.

It may also serve as a documentation purpose to indicate that function is only used
with  CONFIG_ACPI_CPU_FREQ_PSS=y.
