Aren't C macros substituted strictly lexically, i.e. if the #define is
present by the time the function definition is parsed, it's just

void __weak acpi_processor_init_invariance_cppc(void) {}
-> void __weak init_freq_invariance_cppc(void) {}

? So it _is_ a weak definition of init_freq_invariance_cppc().

...That said, it does look kinda confusing. Seems to be norm for that
arch/ header file though.

Anyway,
