[PATCH 2/2] cpufreq: CPPC: Fix error handling in cppc_scale_freq_workfn()

From: Bowen Yu
Date: Tue Jul 29 2025 - 23:23:41 EST


From: Jie Zhan <zhanjie9@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Perf counters could be 0 if the cpu is in a low-power idle state. Just try
it again next time and update the frequency scale when the cpu is active
and perf counters successfully return.

Also, remove the FIE source on an actual failure.
