This patch uncovers a bug in the amd_pstate mode switch path (e.g when 
we do "echo passive > /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/status"). 
I have posted a fix for it at 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250130085251.155146-1-dhananjay.ugwekar@amd.com/T/#u

Can we try to merge this fix before your patch?, so we fix the bug 
before it is uncovered. Currently, the fix is based on top of superm1/bleeding-edge 
(amd-pstate maintainer's dev tree). It wont apply cleanly on your tree i.e. 
vireshk/pm/cpufreq/boost. I can rebase it on your tree and repost, if needed.

Thanks,
Dhananjay
