I noticed the ventanamicro qemu repo has a dev-upstream branch [1] which
contains 4bb6ba4d0fb9 ("riscv/virt: acpi: Enable CPPC - _CPC and _PSD").
I've built that but I still see 'SBI CPPC extension NOT detected!!' in
the Linux boot log.

I'm using upstream opensbi. It seems that sbi_cppc_probe() fails because
cppc_dev is not set. Nothing in the upstream opensbi repo seems to call
sbi_cppc_set_device(), so I am uncertain how it is possible for it to
work. Is there an opensbi branch I should be using?

Thanks,
Drew
