I wonder if we could have the log messages be a bit clearer here, odds
are, unless you're one of the people reading this code, you have no idea
what an OCC is or what on earth "OCC: Loaded" means and why this
*doesn't* mean that your CPUs are no longer throttled so that your
computer doesn't catch fire/break/add 1+1 and get 4.

Also, do we export this information via sysfs somewhere? It would seem
to want to go along with other cpufreq/cpu info there.

It feels like we could do much better at informing users as to what is
going on.... maybe something like:

"OCC (On Chip Controller - enforces hard thermal/power limits) Resetting: CPU frequency throttled for duration"
"OCC Loading, CPU frequency throttled until OCC started"
"OCC Active, CPU frequency no longer throttled"
