[PATCH v4 3/9] cpufreq: amd-pstate: change amd-pstate driver to be built-in type

From: Perry Yuan
Date: Thu Nov 10 2022 - 12:59:45 EST


Change the `amd-pstate` driver as the built-in type which can help to
load the driver before the acpi_cpufreq driver as the default pstate
driver for the AMD processors.

for the processors do not have the dedicated MSR functions, add
`amd-pstate=legacy_cppc` to grub which enable shared memory interface
to communicate with cppc_acpi module to control pstate hints.
