Same issue with "This patch" here.

You can save yourself an indentation level by reversing the logic here:

	if (c->x86 != 0x15)
		return;

Also, I'm wondering if you simply can't do

	if (c->x86_model < 0x10)
		return;

The assumption being that all the models - even after 0x7f - are highly
unlikely to get MC4_MISC thresholding supported, all of a sudden. Might
wanna run it by HW guys first though.

So you copied the same code from __mcheck_cpu_apply_quirks().

No.

In a first patch, you carve that CntP clearing code in a separate
function disable_err_thresholding() like you've done before.

Then, in a second patch, you call it from mce/amd.c and you move all the
family/model checks inside the function so that you have a sole

	disable_err_thresholding();

calls where you need them.

You don't have to pass in struct cpuinfo_x86 *c - you can use
boot_cpu_data in the function.

What S3 resume path? That's the CPU init path.

Also, kernel comments style is:

	/*
	 * A sentence ending with a full-stop.
	 * Another sentence. ...
	 * More sentences. ...
	 */


Good luck!
