This looks good - thanks!  A couple of little comments below:

Not important but using list_voltage() here would be a little nicer.

Forced PWM is normally a power loss - the benefit it gives is the
ability to respond to sudden spikes in load without voltage droops.  The
power benefit from not having it enabled is usually only apparent at
lower loads.
