ACPI 6.6 changed the Optional Attribute of Desired Performance from
Read/Write to Write. cppc_get_perf() nevertheless reads the register when
initializing performance controls, even though cppc-cpufreq overwrites the
value before using it.

Use the readability check from cppc_get_desired_perf() and leave
desired_perf zero instead of reading it on ACPI 6.6 or later. Also exclude
the register from PCC read-command detection so it cannot trigger an
otherwise unnecessary read command.

Fixes: 658fa7b1c47a ("ACPI: CPPC: Add cppc_get_perf() API to read performance controls")
