The amd_pstate mode parameter will allow user to select which amd pstate working mode as booting mode, amd_pstate instance or amd_pstate_epp instance. 1) amd_pstate instance is depending on the target operation mode. 2) amd_pstate_epp instance is depending on the set_policy operation mode.It is also called active mode that AMD SMU has EPP algorithm to control the CPU runtime frequency according to the EPP set value and workload.
