Actually all these functions:
- cppc_get_desired_perf
- cppc_get_highest_perf
- cppc_get_epp_perf
- cppc_set_epp
- cppc_get_auto_act_window
- cppc_set_auto_act_window
- cppc_get_auto_sel
- cppc_get_nominal_perf

and in general all the functions getting / setting one value at a time could
be implemented by macros similars to show_cppc_data(). From what I see the
input parameters required are:
- name of the field
- if the field is mandatory to have or not
- if the field is writeable
- if the field is implemented as an integer, register, or can be both

This would avoid having numerous function definitions doing approximately the
same thing.

Yes exact

  And what about a mandatory +

I don't think it is possible to have this. Indeed, if a value is writeable,
it must be a register, so mandatory + integer should not exist. I suggested
a check in case someone made a mistake, but it is not sure the check is actually
necessary.
