As I wrote in v1, any tests needs to be added into runtest file,
runtest/power_management_tests in this case.

SAFE_*() functions contain error check, tst_brk() is redundant.

I would print TFAIL in the for loop with CPU ID and both values.
And here print only final TPASS.

Also even on this version I have:
high_freq_hwp_cap_cppc.c:31: TBROK: Failed to open FILE '/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/acpi_cppc/highest_perf' for reading: ENOENT (2)

on 6.18 kernel even I run modprobe msr

$ grep -e CONFIG_X86_MSR -e CONFIG_ACPI_CPPC_LIB /boot/config-6.18.*
CONFIG_X86_MSR=m
CONFIG_ACPI_CPPC_LIB=y

OTOH on 7.0.0-rc2 with the same config values autoloading worked.

Kind regards,
Petr
