Well that's true but this change doesn't belong to cppc_cpufreq.c, it must
be part of drivers/acpi/cppc_acpi.c IMO and sorry I assumed that without
explicitly mentioning that here.

It is not like that. cppc_acpi.c will know the GAS is FFH based so no need to
check anything there. I see counters_read_on_cpu() called from cpc_ffh_read()
already takes care of reading the AMUs on the right CPU. What exactly is
the issue you are seeing ? I don't if this change is needed at all.
