The patch add AMD pstate EPP feature introduction and what EPP preference supported for AMD processors.
User can get supported list from energy_performance_available_preferences attribute file, or update current profile to energy_performance_preference file
1) See all EPP profiles $ sudo cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/energy_performance_available_preferences default performance balance_performance balance_power power
2) Check current EPP profile $ sudo cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/energy_performance_preference performance
3) Set new EPP profile $ sudo bash -c "echo power > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/energy_performance_preference"
