[PATCH v3 3/4] PM / EM: update the comments related to power scale

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The Energy Model supports power values expressed in milli-Watts or in an
'abstract scale'. Update the related comments is the code to reflect that
state.
