Tcc is an attribute of the CPU being monitored, not of the dbcool
sensor device.  So from the perspective of the dbcool driver, it's
never a known value and would need to be configured in all cases
when the ATD7490 is used.

I could certainly add a config "locator" for this, but it might be
cleaner to have a sysctl for the user to plug-in the value at boot
time.
