Documentation: introduce amd pstate active mode kernel command line options

AMD Pstate driver support another firmware based autonomous mode
with "amd_pstate=active" added to the kernel command line.
In autonomous mode SMU firmware decides frequencies at runtime
based on workload utilization, usage in other IPs, infrastructure
limits such as power, thermals and so on.

management firmware translates the requests into actual

clocks etc.)
active
Use amd_pstate_epp driver instance as the scaling driver,
driver provides a hint to the hardware if software wants
to bias toward performance (0x0) or energy efficiency (0xff)
to the CPPC firmware. then CPPC power algorithm will
calculate the runtime workload and adjust the realtime cores
frequency.
