I am referring kernel. In fact, the proccessor which supports the AMD
P-States also supports the legacy ACPI P-States as well. So this API is to
check whether the kernel driver is using amd-pstate or acpi-cpufreq.

I would have explained this, sorry to make you confused, I will explain the
details in the commit log at V2.

Thanks,
Ray
