The new registration method allows to get power values from the DT OPP

new possible registration method of 'advanced' EM.

+Registration of 'advanced' EM using DT
I am not really sure if this should be called *Advanced*. Just call it
registration of EM using DT.
Our partners had a lot of issues with EM+EAS, because they were not
aware of the internals of EM and limitations.
We've started to name two types of EM: 'advanced' and 'simple'.
The 'simple' is the one which causes issues. Now when we contact with
partners we ask if they use 'simple' EM and see some issues in EAS.
This is a needed clarification and naming convention that we use.
Here the paragraph name is stressing the fact explicitly that
from today we have the option to provide real power measurements using
DT and it will be the 'advanced' EM.
