Ah, ok.  Then work with the amd_pstate driver authors on this, odds are
one of the sysfs callbacks is incorrectly created which is quite easy to
do for stuff like this.  CFI also gets confused at times when dealing
with sysfs attributes due to them being cast in all sorts of crazy ways.

good luck!
