cTGP Graphics Power Setting Coming For Uniwill / TUXEDO Laptops With Linux 7.0

Upstreamed for the Linux 6.19 kernel is the Uniwill laptop platform driver for exposing more features/settings for laptops made by this Taiwanese OEM/ODM, including the laptops from TUXEDO Computers. Coming for the next kernel cycle is further extending the Uniwill platform driver for now having support for adjusting the custom total graphics power "cTGP" for those laptops with a dedicated GPU.

Werner Sembach of TUXEDO Computers has been working on extending this upstream Uniwill driver for providing more features for their laptops that had previously only been available with their out-of-tree drivers. For Linux 6.20~7.0 one of the main features for the Uniwill driver is now allowing cTGP control if wanting to adjust your discrete GPU's power limit on newer Uniwill-manufactured laptops.

This patch has worked its way into the x86 platform driver's "for-next" Git branch ahead of the Linux 6.20~7.0 cycle. This cTGP setting for Uniwill laptops should work with their hardware featuring a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3000 series or newer mobile GPU.

A nice addition and it's great seeing more TUXEDO Computers laptop features being able to work off the mainline Linux kernel.
