I checked with HW designer, milliseconds is also a reasonable interval of acc power.
And I cannot set too long here, because several seconds will cause the
read function to hang for that period of time.

So I pick 10ms here, and actually, we can update the interval at
/etc/sensors3.conf

chip "fam15h_power-*"
set power1_average_interval 0.01

Thanks,
