I wasn't using apple_gmux_detect as I mistakenly thought
pnp_get_resource would fail if apple-gmux had bound to the resource but
it looks like I was wrong about that so we can use that to determine if
the system has a gmux. I think I'll do that in v2.

As far as I know there's only one internal (non
thunderbolt) amd gpu inside all Macbooks with gmux so we probably
wouldn't need to check for PWRD to ensure it's  the right gpu.

With PWRD, I don't know if its present on all Dual GPU Macbooks, I've
only found the acpi tables for Macbookpro14,x to Macbookpro16,x, so I
don't know if it will work on older Macs (I'm also not sure if those
macs are using radeon or amdgpu).
