Subject: [PATCH 5.4 117/214] acpi-cpufreq: Honor _PSD table setting on new AMD CPUs

From: Wei Huang <wei.huang2@....com>

commit 5368512abe08a28525d9b24abbfc2a72493e8dba upstream.

acpi-cpufreq has a old quirk that overrides the _PSD table supplied by
BIOS on AMD CPUs. However the _PSD table of new AMD CPUs (Family 19h+)
now accurately reports the P-state dependency of CPU cores. Hence this
quirk needs to be fixed in order to support new CPUs' frequency control.

Fixes: acd316248205 ("acpi-cpufreq: Add quirk to disable _PSD usage on all AMD CPUs")
