In this scenario, both topology.c and cppc_acpi.c do not provide an API 
to keep the AMU online

during the whole sampling period. Just using cpc_read_ffh at the start 
and end of the sampling

period is not enough.

However, I can propose cpc_ffh_supported() function to replace the 
cpu_has_amu_feat() as v2

if you think this patch set is still valuable.


Thanks,
