A kerneldoc, please.

Why int and not bool?

No line wraps here, please and follow the reverse xmas tree convention.

Declare the variables only used in this loop here and you only need two.

I would do

if (CPC_IN_PCC(&cpc_desc->cpc_regs[DELIVERED_CTR]) ||
    CPC_IN_PCC(&cpc_desc->cpc_regs[REFERENCE_CTR]) ||
    CPC_IN_PCC(&cpc_desc->cpc_regs[CTR_WRAP_TIME]))
        return true;

ref_perf_reg = &cpc_desc->cpc_regs[REFERENCE_PERF];
if (!CPC_SUPPORTED(ref_perf_reg))
    ref_perf_reg = &cpc_desc->cpc_regs[NOMINAL_PERF];

if (CPC_IN_PCC(ref_perf_reg))
    return true;
