Thanks for the patch. However you forgot to include a Signed-off-by tag
(see the CONTRIBUTING file). Please also only include a description of
the patch in the commit message, any additional comments/questions can
be included in a cover letter.

Also one small comment about the changes below.

I haven't heard of any plans for supporting TPC in the kernel.

This should also be changed to 5150-5250.
