I've applied this series along with fixes and improvements [1], and I cannot get guided mode to work with my CPU any more.
The CPU is:
```
Vendor ID: AuthenticAMD
Model name: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor
CPU family: 25
Model: 33
Thread(s) per core: 2
Core(s) per socket: 16
Socket(s): 1
Stepping: 2
```
I've got `amd_pstate=guided` set in the kernel cmdline, but `amd-pstate-epp` gets loaded anyway. When I try to set `guided` manually via `echo guided | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/status`, the status gets dropped to `disable`, `tee` errors out with `-ENODEV`, and there's this in the kernel log:
```
$ jctl -kb | grep sysfs: | cut -d ' ' -f 5-
kernel: sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/boost'
…
kernel: sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy31/boost'
```
The following is applied on top of v6.9-rc7:
```
cpufreq: amd-pstate: automatically load pstate driver by default
cpufreq: amd-pstate: fix the highest frequency issue which limit performance
cpufreq: amd-pstate: implement heterogeneous core topology for highest performance initialization
x86/cpufeatures: Add feature bits for AMD heterogeneous processor
cpufreq: amd-pstate: switch boot_cpu_has() to cpu_feature_enabled()
Documentation: PM: amd-pstate: add guide mode to the Operation mode
Documentation: PM: amd-pstate: add debugging section for driver loading failure
Documentation: PM: amd-pstate: introducing recommended reboot requirement during driver switch
cpufreq: amd-pstate: add debug message while CPPC is supported and disabled by SBIOS
cpufreq: amd-pstate: show CPPC debug message if CPPC is not supported
cpufreq: amd-pstate: optimiza the initial frequency values verification
Documentation: cpufreq: amd-pstate: update doc for Per CPU boost control method
cpufreq: amd-pstate: introduce per CPU frequency boost control
Documentation: cpufreq: amd-pstate: introduce the new cpu boost control method
cpufreq: amd-pstate: fix the MSR highest perf will be reset issue while cpb boost off
cpufreq: amd-pstate: implement cpb_boost sysfs entry for boost control
cpufreq: amd-pstate: initialize new core precision boost state
cpufreq: acpi: move MSR_K7_HWCR_CPB_DIS_BIT into msr-index.h
cpufreq: amd-pstate: remove unused variable lowest_nonlinear_freq
cpufreq: amd-pstate: fix code format problems
cpufreq: amd-pstate: Add quirk for the pstate CPPC capabilities missing
cpufreq: amd-pstate: get transition delay and latency value from ACPI tables
cpufreq: amd-pstate: Bail out if min/max/nominal_freq is 0
cpufreq: amd-pstate: Remove amd_get_{min,max,nominal,lowest_nonlinear}_freq()
cpufreq: amd-pstate: Unify computation of {max,min,nominal,lowest_nonlinear}_freq
cpufreq: amd-pstate: Document the units for freq variables in amd_cpudata
cpufreq: amd-pstate: Document *_limit_* fields in struct amd_cpudata
```
Previously, with your submissions, it was possible to use `guided` mode with my Zen 3.
