i can confirm same issue loading cpufreq.ko on my ryzen system running 
14-current.  interestingly enough these sysctl oid's are available:
dev.cpufreq.0.freq_driver: hwpstate0
dev.hwpstate.0.freq_settings: 3600/4275 3200/3260 2200/1842
dev.hwpstate.0.%parent: cpu0
dev.hwpstate.0.%pnpinfo:
dev.hwpstate.0.%location:
dev.hwpstate.0.%driver: hwpstate
dev.hwpstate.0.%desc: Cool`n'Quiet 2.0

which makes sense as cpufreq(4) states:
hwpstate            AMD Cool'n'Quiet2 used in K10 through Family 17h

whereas hwpstate_intel is "SpeedShift" specific.


are you seeeing anything under dev.hwpstate.*?
