reading the specs, it seems to me that the a4-4000 processor (amd fam 15h model 13h) has the tdp running average feature, implemented in the fam15h_power module: D18F5xE0, page 456, BKDG for AMD Family 15h Models 10h-1Fh Processors http://support.amd.com/TechDocs/42300_15h_Mod_10h-1Fh_BKDG.pdf if this assumption is correct, the module fails to probe the device only because the pci id to query is different, so the attached patch should fix the detection it is untested as i'm not familiar with the hardware and i really appreciate some suggestion from an expert here c-ya!
