I tried this patch on 6.11.0-rc2, sadly this config does not match my system (BIOS).
After some correction, I confirm following configuration matches my BIOS:
static const struct dmi_system_id amd_pstate_quirks_table[] __initconst = {
{
.callback = dmi_matched_7k62_bios_bug,
@@ -168,6 +190,16 @@ static const struct dmi_system_id amd_pstate_quirks_table[] __initconst = {

+ },
{}
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(dmi, amd_pstate_quirks_table);
And with this change, my system boots with no amd_pstate error.
The old warning and a new info show up though, I guess that is acceptable?
[Fri Aug 9 19:35:29 2024] amd_pstate: The CPPC feature is supported but currently disabled by the BIOS.
Please enable it if your BIOS has the CPPC option.
[Fri Aug 9 19:35:29 2024] amd_pstate: Overriding nominal and lowest frequencies for AMD Ryzen 3000
This patch confuses me a little,
I do not see any bound between CPU identity "AMD Ryzen 3000" and my BIOS DMIs,
it make no sense to me to infer the CPU identity just by some BIOS DMIs.
What if another AMD CPU with different cpu frequency range installed on the same BIOS as mine?
(I guess current assumption is that my BIOS is way too old and weird, the possibility of "what if" mentioned above is very low?)
Anyway, after patching my system with a proper quirk,
I dose not notice any significant CPU performance changes, yet. (My kernel build time dose not change much, at least)
And it seems to me that the amd_pstate module is active:
