Thanks! :-)

I have one, I can verify if needed (although the change looks good to
me).  On some Zen systems (including mine) it seems that the hardware
can successfully set a P-state, but will fail to read it back.  For me
it is P1 but other users have reported P0.  That's the root issue of
all of those PRs.  If reading back isn't required, maybe that's a
solution to the issue.

Best,
Conrad
