Documentation: power: Add description about new callback for EM registration

The Energy Model (EM) registration for CPUs should now be done using
a dedicated callback added recently into CPUFreq framework and drivers.

Commit c17495b01b72 ("cpufreq: Add callback to register with energy model")

The callback guaranties that the EM registration is called at the right
time during driver setup. To avoid mistakes update the documentation
to align with the existing code implementation.

 3. Example driver
 -----------------
 
+The CPUFreq framework supports dedicated callback for registering
+the EM for a given CPU(s) 'policy' object: cpufreq_driver::register_em().
+That callback has to be implemented properly for a given driver,
+because the framework would call it at the right time during setup.
 This section provides a simple example of a CPUFreq driver registering a
 performance domain in the Energy Model framework using the (fake) 'foo'
 protocol. The driver implements an est_power() function to be provided to the
