Via /sys/bus/platform/devices/smpro-misc*/soc_power_limit the SoC power limit for Ampere processors can be set as well as reading the current power limit. The soc_power_limit control allows manipulating the range from 120 Watts up to the maximum socket TDP power limit.

I really appreciate these kinds of sysfs interfaces. I'd love to see more things like this when it comes to tweaking CPUs with the OS already hot.
