[PATCH] platform/x86/intel-uncore-freq: Fix current_freq_khz after CPU hotplug

From: Guixiong Wei

Date: Mon Jun 01 2026 - 22:10:52 EST


When the last CPU of a legacy uncore die goes offline,
uncore_freq_remove_die_entry() clears control_cpu. During CPU hotplug
re-add, uncore_freq_add_entry() still populates sysfs attributes before
assigning the new control CPU. As a result, the current frequency read
returns -ENXIO and current_freq_khz is omitted from the recreated sysfs
group.

Assign control_cpu before the initial read paths and before
create_attr_group() so sysfs recreation uses the new online CPU. If
sysfs creation fails, restore control_cpu to -1 to keep the error path
state consistent.
