Yeah, I didn't expect to be that easy.

Provided hw support on TN is present, someone needs to sit down and
audit the algorithm in show_power() and sanity-check all those values
coming from the PCI regs.

But I'd wait for Rui first to confirm whether it is even worth to chase
this or whether TN is a lost cause because this TDP mechanism is not
supported there or whatever other reason there might be...
