[PATCH] cpufreq: CPPC: Set CPPC Enable register in cpu_init
From: Sumit Gupta
Date: Thu Nov 05 2026 - 07:46:04 EST
As per ACPI 6.x s8.4.6.1.4 (CPPC Enable register):
"If supported by the platform, OSPM writes a one to this register
to enable CPPC on this processor. If not implemented, OSPM assumes
the platform always has CPPC enabled."
The driver never writes this register. Call cppc_set_enable() at the
start of cppc_cpufreq_cpu_init(). Errors are logged but not fatal, as
the register is optional.
Fixes: 5477fb3bd1e8 ("ACPI / CPPC: Add a CPUFreq driver for use with CPPC")

Sending this separately from the autonomous mode boot parameter series
where it was patch 1/2, as it is an independent bug fix.
