    [CPUFREQ] pcc-cpufreq: don't load driver if get_freq fails during init.
    
    Return 0 on failure. This will cause the initialization of the driver
    to fail and prevent the driver from loading if the BIOS cannot handle
    the PCC interface command to "get frequency". Otherwise, the driver
    will load and display a very high value like "4294967274" (which is
    actually -EINVAL) for frequency:
    
    # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq
    4294967274
