Subject: Linux 4.19.0 Build Error when CONFIG_ACPI not set.

When I compile the 4.19.0 Linux kernel, I get this build error:

[root@f28 linux]# fgrep -r CONFIG_ACPI .config
# CONFIG_ACPI is not set
[root@f28 linux]#

[root@f28 linux]# make
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh

        did you mean ‘intel_pstate_get_epp’?

[root@f28 linux]# 

I am building on a virtual machine.

This was introduced with
commit 86d333a8cc7f ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Add base_frequency attribute")

The function intel_pstate_get_cppc_guranteed() is called but the function
definition is within #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI/#endif conditional compile.

Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks
