[PATCH 08/27] tools/power/x86/intel-speed-select: Helpful warning for missing kernel interface

From: Srinivas Pandruvada
Date: Thu Mar 05 2020 - 17:45:54 EST


When the device file "/dev/isst_interface" is not present, instead of
failing on access, check at the start and print a helpful warning.

Here CLX platform is an exception, which doesn't depend on the device
file. So continue for CLX platform.
