First off, please don't split the workaround material into two parts.
IOW, the other new function added below can go here just fine IMO.

Second, what is the value of using the function pointer above?

All we need for now is a flag to indicate whether or not to call
hisi_cppc_cpufreq_get_rate() here and return its return value.

And this function can be a void one.
