If I modify the Kconfig of amd-pstate like below:

config X86_AMD_PSTATE
        bool "AMD Processor P-State driver"
        depends on X86
        select ACPI_PROCESSOR if ACPI
        select ACPI_CPPC_LIB if X86_64 && ACPI
        select CPU_FREQ_GOV_SCHEDUTIL if SMP

Then ACPI_CPPC_LIB can be selected by X86_AMD_PSTATE as well:

Symbol: ACPI_CPPC_LIB [=y]
Type  : bool

Defined at drivers/acpi/Kconfig:268
  Depends on: ACPI [=y] && ACPI_PROCESSOR [=y]
Selects: MAILBOX [=y] && PCC [=y]
Selected by [y]:
  - X86_AMD_PSTATE [=y] && CPU_FREQ [=y] && X86 [=y] && X86_64 [=y] && ACPI [=y]
Selected by [n]:
  - X86_INTEL_PSTATE [=n] && CPU_FREQ [=y] && X86 [=y] && X86_64 [=y] && ACPI [=y] && SCHED_MC_PRIO [=n]
  - ACPI_CPPC_CPUFREQ [=n] && CPU_FREQ [=y] && (ARM || ARM64) && ACPI_PROCESSOR [=y]

Did I miss anything?

Thanks,
Ray
