    PM: EM: Clarify abstract scale usage for power values in Energy Model · 5a64f775
    Lukasz Luba authored
    
    
    The Energy Model (EM) can store power values in milli-Watts or in abstract
    scale. This might cause issues in the subsystems which use the EM for
    estimating the device power, such as:
    
     - mixing of different scales in a subsystem which uses multiple
       (cooling) devices (e.g. thermal Intelligent Power Allocation (IPA))
    
     - assuming that energy [milli-Joules] can be derived from the EM power
       values which might not be possible since the power scale doesn't have
       to be in milli-Watts
    
    To avoid misconfiguration add the requisite documentation to the EM and
    related subsystems: EAS and IPA.
