Not sure if if it is expected, I got the following warning
during compiling:
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for INTEL_AET_RESCTRL
   Depends on [n]: X86_PLATFORM_DEVICES [=y] && INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY [=n]
   Selected by [y]:
   - X86_CPU_RESCTRL [=y] && X86 [=y] && (CPU_SUP_INTEL [=y] || 
CPU_SUP_AMD [=y]) && MISC_FILESYSTEMS [=y] && X86_64 [=y] && 
CPU_SUP_INTEL [=y]

I think this is because the INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY is disabled.
Does it make sense to add the dependency of INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY
to auto-select for INTEL_AET_RESCTRL?

select INTEL_AET_RESCTRL if (X86_64 && CPU_SUP_INTEL && INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY)

thanks，
Chenyu
