Even if there is some missing optional field, the place will not be
filled by the next mandatory field as the order of fields is _CPC is
fixed.

"Optional _CPC package fields that are not supported by the platform
should be encoded as follows:
• Integer fields: Integer 0
• Register fields: the following NULL register descriptor should be
used:
ResourceTemplate() {Register {(SystemMemory, 0, 0, 0, 0)}}
"

Will see 0 acpi_cppc sysfs.

But this may confuse users, so better not to add guaranteed attribute
to acpi_cppc sysfs.

I will submit v2 of patch series.

Thanks,
Srinivas
