The Energy Model (EM) can be created based on DT entry: 'dynamic-power-coefficient'. It's a 'simple' EM which is limited to the dynamic power. It has to fit into the math formula which requires also information about voltage. Some of the platforms don't expose voltage information, thus it's not possible to use EM registration using DT. This patch aims to fix it. It introduces new implementation of the EM registration callback. The new mechanism relies on the new OPP feature allowing to get power (which is coming from "opp-microwatt" DT property) expressed in micro-Watts. The patch also opens new opportunity to better support platforms, which have a decent static power. It allows to register the EM based on real power measurements which models total power (static + dynamic), so better reflects real HW.

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.
