Hardware: GPU
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU
Describe the bug
nvidia-powerd was added to the linux driver to enable dynamic boost but currently its completely broken on all AMD-NVIDIA based laptops because powerd service is unable to read the cpu powerdata. I have attched the output of service log below.
