I applied this series along with
[PATCH] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix EPP setting via sysfs in active mode
on 5.8 latest master (On top of raw epp patchset).

When intel_pstate=passive from kernel command line then it is fine, no
crash. But switch dynamically, crashed:
Attached crash.txt. I may need to try your linux-pm tree.

Then after some playing I reached a state when I monitor MSR 0x774:
while true; do rdmsr 0x774; sleep 1; done
80002704
...
...

Don't have a recipe to reproduce this.

Thanks,
