The purpose is to ensure a minimum voltage (voltage corner) on the
memory rail (mx) at low temperature, to meet some physical requirement.

Presumably any on-die sensor could be used and the minimum voltage
requirement only applies below some configurable threshold.

RPMh is the interface used to configure the voltage corner (and other
shared resources, such as regulators, interconnects etc). mx is the
"memory rail" power domain.
