It would be a single added condition on the hotpath for !cpus and I
think CPUs nowadays do a very good job optimising those.
Also, you lose a branch and a cpumask operation on the
arch_set_freq_scale path.

I think it would improve clarity a lot by having a single topology
function, with clear comments on which path is taken when.
In regards to them sharing code, there's not much code they could be
sharing, as one just does some simple math on provided values.
I attempted to have a single function for frequency invariance at some
point [1], as the logic for the computation is the same, but I could
never convince myself the clarity gained was worth the changes. But
I really like this version of your code for this purpose as well.
But I'll leave that to your judgement.

You could probably move this define under the comment below, as both
arch functions do frequency-invariance accounting, but from different
sources.

Maybe you can add SCALE_FREQ_SOURCE_CPUFREQ as the first value (=0).
That will give a hint of CPUFREQ being a source of information for FIE
and the default when counters are not supported, even if nothing gets
done with that value (for now at least).

+1 on the rewrite!
