I’m not familiar with Radeon PowerPlay, so I don’t know if there is a proper way to solve this, but you should be able to make a systemd system service to run the upp command on boot.
Save the text (using sudo/root) to a new .service file in /etc/systemd/service. (e.g. /etc/systemd/system/my_update_pp.service)
run sudo systemctl daemon-reload to tell systemd to re-read the service files
run sudo systemctl restart my_update_pp.service to manually run the service
run sudo systemctl enable my_update_pp.service to tell systemd to run your service automatically on boot/wake (WantedBy tells systemd when it should include the unit/service, After, Wants, Requires, and Before help systemd decide the order to run all the units/services)
Notes
Usually for simple systemd services, you can omit After and set WantedBy to just WantedBy=multi-user.target, but if you also need to run upp after sleep or hibernate, then you probably need something more complex. I copied the After and WantedBy from a stackexchange answer, but I haven’t tried using those targets before. You might have to add multi-user.target to the WantedBy list.
I don’t actually know if you need to run upp after sleep/hibernate. Running on boot might be sufficient.
I think you can skip the chmod if you run upp as sudo/root. Systemd system services run as root by default.
I don’t know how safe it is to mess with PowerPlay during boot. My gut says it’s probably fine, but it also seems like something that could cause graphics to not work. Tread carefully.

upp
command on boot.To do so, I think you can use the following:
[Unit] Description=Run my_user_script After=suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target suspend-then-hibernate.target [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=upp -p /sys/class/drm/card1/device/pp_table set --write smc_pptable/SocketPowerLimitAc/0=312 smc_pptable/SocketPowerLimitDc/0=293 smc_pptable/TdcLimit/0=300 smc_pptable/FreqTableSocclk/1=1350 smc_pptable/FreqTableFclk/1=2000 smc_pptable/FclkBoostFreq=2000 [Install] WantedBy=suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target suspend-then-hibernate.target
To configure this service:
.service
file in/etc/systemd/service
. (e.g./etc/systemd/system/my_update_pp.service
)sudo systemctl daemon-reload
to tell systemd to re-read the service filessudo systemctl restart my_update_pp.service
to manually run the servicesudo systemctl enable my_update_pp.service
