The patch is for SKX uncore. The test machine looks like a BDX.
So the mapping_group should always be invisible.
The attr_update should not update.
I think there should be no performance impact.

static void uncore_platform_mapping(struct intel_uncore_type *t)
{
if (t->get_topology && t->set_mapping &&
!t->get_topology(t, max_dies) && !t->set_mapping(t, max_dies))
mapping_group.is_visible = NULL;
else
mapping_group.is_visible = not_visible;
}
