[UPDATE][PATCH] platform/x86/intel-uncore-freq: Conditionally create attribute for read frequency

From: Srinivas Pandruvada
Date: Wed Oct 04 2023 - 14:19:27 EST


When the current uncore frequency can't be read, don't create attribute
"current_freq_khz" as any read will fail later. Some user space
applications like turbostat fail to continue with the failure. So, check
error during attribute creation.

Fixes: 414eef27283a ("platform/x86/intel/uncore-freq: Display uncore current frequency")

Added fixes tag which added current_freq_khz. But after this
tag there is reorg of code, so need manual backport for some versions.
I will separately submit to stable trees after merge.
