Whoops, good catch. Before, this code was only working because the
switch statement in get_tdp_amd() has a default case.

That said, this patch is effectively a no-op, since the get_tdp_amd()
function returns the value "250" no matter what argument is passed. The
only reason the function exists in the first place is that I thought
there might be a way to read the configured TDP from the CPU, but I
couldn't find any documentation on how to do that at the time.
