This patch increases the `tcc_offset` to reduce the TCC
(Thermal Control Circuit) activation temperature to avoid running
into abrupt power off during power cycle tests.
On Intel processors, the core frequency can be by an HW agent when
the current temperature reaches the TCC activation temperature.
The default TCC activation temperature is specified by MSR_IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET (which is 90°C for google/rex variants).
However, this patch adjusted the TCC by specifying an offset in
degrees C (i.e., using `tcc_offset` from variant override device tree).
Note: The bigger the TCC offset is, the lower the effective TCC activation temperature would be, to ensure that processors can be throttled earlier before the system critical overheats.
BUG=b:283008762
TEST=Able to perform power cycle on google/screebo w/o any crash/shutdown.
