Rafael J. Wysocki 95d6c0857e cpufreq: intel_pstate: Register when ACPI PCCH is present
Currently, intel_pstate doesn't register if _PSS is not present on
HP Proliant systems, because it expects the firmware to take over
CPU performance scaling in that case.  However, if ACPI PCCH is
present, the firmware expects the kernel to use it for CPU
performance scaling and the pcc-cpufreq driver is loaded for that.

Unfortunately, the firmware interface used by that driver is not
scalable for fundamental reasons, so pcc-cpufreq is way suboptimal
on systems with more than just a few CPUs.  In fact, it is better to
avoid using it at all.

For this reason, modify intel_pstate to look for ACPI PCCH if _PSS
is not present and register if it is there.  Also prevent the
pcc-cpufreq driver from trying to initialize itself if intel_pstate
has been registered already.

Fixes: fbbcdc0744 (intel_pstate: skip the driver if ACPI has power mgmt option)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
