Hello!

I have a patch that I think should make it work fine on Linux [1], but
I'm afraid I have little to no capability to test it myself and so I
did not add it as well.

I do know that the rootkey is offset 0x200 into the given space [2],
as is the case with the H3, and that the readout quirk is not needed.
I wasn't 100% sure that the a83t has 2Kbit worth of efuse space as the
H3, but I do know that thermal data can be found at 0x34 and 0x38 in
this space.
