ACPI specifications stat that if the "Guaranteed Performance Register" is not implemented, OSPM assumes guaranteed performance is always equal to nominal performance. So for invalid and unimplemented guaranteed performance register, use nominal performance as guaranteed performance.

This change will fallback to nominal_perf when guranteed_perf is invalid. If nominal_perf is also invalid, then fallback to existing implementation, which is to read from HWP Capabilities MSR.

I would do this the other way around, that is

if (cppc_perf.guaranteed_perf) return cppc_perf.guaranteed_perf;

return cppc_perf.nominal_perf;

That is slightly easier to follow IMO.
