> desired_perf_reg is not an optional one, so it has to be supported.

The ACPI spec seems to say it is optional under some circumstances.

Cf:
"""
This register is optional when OSPM
indicates support for CPPC2 in the platform-wide _OSC
capabilities and the Autonomous Selection Enable reg-
ister is Integer 1
"""


Maybe it is ok to let this check here and to a more complex verification
in acpi_cppc_processor_probe()
