Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] cpufreq/amd-pstate: Remove warning for X86_FEATURE_CPPC on certain Zen models

commit bff7d13c190a ("cpufreq: amd-pstate: add debug message while
CPPC is supported and disabled by SBIOS") issues a warning on plaforms
where the X86_FEATURE_CPPC is expected to be enabled, but is not due
to it being disabled in the BIOS.

This feature bit corresponds to CPUID 0x80000008.ebx[27] which is a
reserved bit on the Zen1 processors and a reserved bit on Zen2 based
models 0x70-0x7F, and is expected to be cleared on these
platforms. Thus printing the warning message for these models when
X86_FEATURE_CPPC is unavailable is incorrect. Fix this.

Modify some of the comments, and use switch-case for model range
checking for improved readability while at it.
