I don't think that would compile on non-X86. X86_FEATURE_CPPC comes as part of
arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h, which I wouldn't expect is included on !x86.

Well actually doing that through _OSC wouldn't have worked before 72f2ecb7ece7 either.
If desirable - a platform could avoid populating _CPC objects in ACPI tables in this case.

I do know of OEM platforms that the underlying APU supports CPPC but the OEM doesn't
populate _CPC. Presumably for this exact reason.
