[PATCH] cpufreq: amd-pstate: fix global sysfs attribute type

From: Thomas Weißschuh
Date: Mon Aug 07 2023 - 02:38:03 EST


In commit 3666062b87ec ("cpufreq: amd-pstate: move to use bus_get_dev_root()")
the "amd_pstate" attributes where moved from a dedicated kobject to the
cpu root kobject.
While the dedicated kobject expects to contain kobj_attributes the root
kobject needs device_attributes.

As the changed arguments are not used by the callbacks it works most of
the time.
However CFI will detect this issue:

Note:

This was not tested with CFI as I don't have the toolchain available.
Jannik, could you give it a spin?
