Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] PM / EM: update the comments related to power scale
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2020 15:06:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201019140601.3047-4-lukasz.luba@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201019140601.3047-1-lukasz.luba@arm.com>

The Energy Model supports power values expressed in milli-Watts or in an
'abstract scale'. Update the related comments is the code to reflect that
state.
