Subject: [PATCH 5.4 112/129] drm/amd/pm: avoid false alarm due to confusing softwareshutdowntemp setting

From: Evan Quan <evan.quan@....com>

commit 971df65cbf32da9bc9af52c1196ca504dd316086 upstream.

Normally softwareshutdowntemp should be greater than Thotspotlimit.
However, on some VEGA10 ASIC, the softwareshutdowntemp is 91C while
Thotspotlimit is 105C. This seems not right and may trigger some
false alarms.
