From ACPI spec below 3 modes for CPPC can be defined:

 1. Non autonomous: OS scaling governor specifies operating frequency/
    performance level through `Desired Performance` register and platform
    follows that.

 2. Guided autonomous: OS scaling governor specifies min and max
    frequencies/ performance levels through `Minimum Performance` and
    `Maximum Performance` register, and platform can autonomously select an
    operating frequency in this range.

 3. Fully autonomous: OS only hints (via EPP) to platform for the required
    energy performance preference for the workload and platform autonomously
    scales the frequency.

Currently (1) is supported by amd_pstate as passive mode, and (3) is
implemented by EPP support. This change is to support (2).

In guided autonomous mode the min_perf is based on the input from the
scaling governor. For example, in case of schedutil this value depends
on the current utilization. And max_perf is set to max capacity.

To activate guided auto mode ``amd_pstate=guided`` command line
parameter has to be passed in the kernel.

                          Do not enable amd_pstate as the default
                          scaling driver for the supported processors
                        passive
-                         Use amd_pstate as a scaling driver, driver requests a
-                         desired performance on this abstract scale and the power
-                         management firmware translates the requests into actual
-                         hardware states (core frequency, data fabric and memory
-                         clocks etc.)
+                         Use amd_pstate with passive mode as a scaling driver.
+                         In this mode autonomous selection is disabled.
+                         Driver requests a desired performance level and platform
+                         tries to match the same performance level if it is
+                         satisfied by guaranteed performance level.
                        active
                          Use amd_pstate_epp driver instance as the scaling driver,
                          driver provides a hint to the hardware if software wants
                          to the CPPC firmware. then CPPC power algorithm will
                          calculate the runtime workload and adjust the realtime cores
                          frequency.
+                       guided
+                         Activate guided autonomous mode. Driver requests minimum and
+                         maximum performance level and the platform autonomously
+                         selects a performance level in this range and appropriate
+                         to the current workload.
