Please consider the following patch set for SRU in Bionic. These patches
address the two bugs:
CPPC additional support: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1796918
CPPC bug fixes: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1796949

The CPPC feature needs to be explicitly enabled in Firmware (default is
disabled) for these patches to be in effect. 

I have build a kernel in a PPA and regression tested them on Cavium
Thunder X2 CN99XX system. For test kernel, and detailed test results
please refer to the comments in the bug reports.

Additional support sounds like adding feature(s) which should not be mixed with
bug fixes. And one should have good reasons prepared as to why those new
features have to go into a base/released kernel and not into the development kernel.
