Even though you are lucky that in the end it still works, this check is
misplaced. You should instead have:

		if (cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_PLN)) {
			err = sysfs_add_file_to_group(&sys_dev->kobj,
					&attr_package_power_limit_count.attr,
					thermal_attr_group.name);
			if (err)
				goto error;
		}
