Yes, but it is a power management message. From a FW perspective, power 
management starts when DPM is enabled. Without that, it's not bothered 
about any power management features. Only a few non-PM related messages 
like i2c table transfer etc. work when it is not enabled. Usually for 
APUs, DPM gets enabled early through BIOS and driver doesn't have much 
control.

If dpm_enabled is not causing any SW logical errors, better to keep it 
coherent with FW DPM for swsmu based ASICs.
