(Splitting up the related issue #255)

For Thinkpads with i7-1165G7 (so far confirmed P14s Gen 2, P15s Gen2), the lenovo_fix.py --debug script reports the following issue:

[D] MCHBAR PACKAGE_POWER_LIMIT - write 0x42816000dd8160 - read 0xffffffffffffffff - match ERR

In consequence, when using the --monitor flag it is visible that the CPU's power is frequently limited to 10 W. The static fix seems to work fine, but only for a limited time, see @academo description at #255 (comment).

I have a P14s Gen 2 and can confirm that this is the same problem on that model as posted by @academo. I am using Ubuntu 20.04 with a 5.13.13 kernel.
