Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.18 13/22] platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: do not use PSC mode on Intel platforms

From: Mark Pearson <markpearson@...ovo.com>

[ Upstream commit bce6243f767f7da88aa4674d5d678f9f156eaba9 ]

PSC platform profile mode is only supported on Linux for AMD platforms.

Some older Intel platforms (e.g T490) are advertising it's capability
as Windows uses it - but on Linux we should only be using MMC profile
for Intel systems.

Add a check to prevent it being enabled incorrectly.
