45f589b716 cpufreq: Init cpufreq only for present CPUs
for_each_possible_cpu() is currently used to initialize cpufreq.
However, in cpu_dev_register_generic(), for_each_present_cpu()
is used to register CPU devices which means the CPU devices are
only registered for present CPUs and not all possible CPUs.

With nosmp or maxcpus=0, only the boot CPU is present, lead
to the cpufreq probe failure or defer probe due to no cpu device
available for not present CPUs.

Change for_each_possible_cpu() to for_each_present_cpu() in the
above cpufreq drivers to ensure it only registers cpufreq for
CPUs that are actually present.

Fixes: b0c69e1214 ("drivers: base: Use present CPUs in GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES")

0df09bf56e cpufreq: virtual: Stop setting cpufreq_driver->attr field
The cpufreq core now handles this for basic attributes, including boost
frequencies, the driver can skip setting them.

4fd06a5358 cpufreq: add virtual-cpufreq driver
Introduce a virtualized cpufreq driver for guest kernels to improve
performance and power of workloads within VMs.

This driver does two main things:

1. Sends the frequency of vCPUs as a hint to the host. The host uses the
hint to schedule the vCPU threads and decide physical CPU frequency.

2. If a VM does not support a virtualized FIE(like AMUs), it queries the
host CPU frequency by reading a MMIO region of a virtual cpufreq device
to update the guest's frequency scaling factor periodically. This enables
accurate Per-Entity Load Tracking for tasks running in the guest.
