I stand corrected, it's not in the spec, rather de facto use of it in some
cases, see below.

As far as I can find the following code in the kernel and thus real ACPI tables
in the wild that utilize it.

drivers/acpi/dptf/dptf_power.c:84:      status = acpi_evaluate_integer(acpi_dev->handle, "PTYP", NULL, &ptype);
drivers/platform/x86/intel_cht_int33fe.c:101:   status = acpi_evaluate_integer(ACPI_HANDLE(dev), "PTYP", NULL, &ptyp);
drivers/thermal/int340x_thermal/int3403_thermal.c:237:  status = acpi_evaluate_integer(priv->adev->handle, "PTYP",
