Can't set powerlimit on Arc Pro B60 #122

Description

@Riventrop

Hello all,

I own a Sparkle Intel Arc Pro B60 installed in a Proxmox 9 server, with Intel i5 13500 and ASRock B760 Pro RS.
I am aware that Proxmox is not supported ( which is strange because that's where SR-IOV truly shines ), I managed to install XPU manager by using the Ubuntu Noble repositories.

The software seems to work fine, I can run test, list GPUs, VF's and so on, however when I try to set a power limit I get the Error: Error message regardless of the values I put in.

I would like to ask if this is a expected behavior due to missing support for Battlemage ( so a case similar to: #118 ) or because of the fact that I use unsupported OS/some other quirk of my setup.

Please take a look at the output I get when attempting to set powerlimit:
