The amd-pstate driver supports dynamically selecting the energy performance
profile based on whether the machine is running on AC or DC power.
Whether this behavior is enabled by default depends on the kernel
config option `CONFIG_X86_AMD_PSTATE_DYNAMIC_EPP`. This behavior can also be overridden
at runtime by the sysfs file ``/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policyX/dynamic_epp``.

``amd_dynamic_epp=enable`` or disabled with ``amd_dynamic_epp=disable``.
