Please confirm

I have searched existing issues and found no duplicate
I will fill this out to the best of my ability

Extra details

I am using a custom pt_oc.json file
I am using a custom limits_cache.json file
I have submitted a log through the PowerTools UI

Expected Behaviour

PowerTools functionality is not affected by kernel changes such as different sysfs paths for the same hardware.

Actual Behaviour

Paths are hardcoded and functionality fails to work if the APU's GPU is not card0, the battery controller is not hwmon5, or the battery is not BAT1.

Steps To Reproduce

Install an alternate OS on Steam Deck which has support for Steam Deck hardware
Weep

Anything else?

Version

any

Platform

SteamDeck

OS

A better way to interact with sysfs things is currently in development here as sysfs-nav. Hoping to work on it this weekend as I travel to/from LTX.
