The current ACPI 6.1 spec restricts the CPPC to a single PCC subspace. See section:
8.4.7.1.9 Using PCC Registers, which states "If the PCC register space is used, all PCC
registers must be defined to be in the same subspace."

Agreed with Prashanth, beside of that, spec also says "To amortize the
cost of PCC transactions, OSPM should read or
write all PCC registers via a single read or write command when possible."
