My C630 is my daily driver and main computer, so I don't mind testing
things to improve its usage at all.

Makes sense, I just wasn't entirely sure if it was on purpose or not.

I noticed this as well, and was going to ask if it shouldn't be named
qcom_dtpm, but I don't think it matters since it would be in
/lib/modules/$kver/kernel/drivers/soc/qcom ?

So, I'm definitely not the greatest of kernel hackers, just enough
knowledge to be dangerous and I know how to apply patches properly....
I'm not able to actually get this working.  I've tried adding it with a
few different numbers, and any time i try to add the d-p-c, I get
