The Energy Model (EM) can be registered in two ways:
1) Using a helper function, which under the hood relies on OPP framework
and DT entry in CPU node: 'dynamic-power-coefficient'. This is
a 'simple' EM because it's tied to the math formula:
Power = dynamic-power-coefficient * V^2 * f
2) Using em_dev_register_perf_domain() API function with a driver
custom callback which provides power for each performance state.
This is 'advanced' EM, since it can better reflect real power
measurements for each performance state. It's not limited to any
math formula and can better reflect real physics of the device.
Add description of these two methods to the documentation, so developers
could choose the suitable registration method (option).

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
