Research direction

Start at the lpmd_main entry point and trace the platform and CPU detection that produces the logged family:model values for ARL and LNL. Compare those values with the project's supported-platform handling, then verify that the reported CPUs no longer fail as unsupported on the stated Ubuntu kernel.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
