Right, I can change that :-)

Hmm, the issue is this must match the expectations of the EM framework:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.0-rc4/source/include/linux/energy_model.h#L62

So, I don't really have a choice. Or we can change the core code if this
_really_ is a problem -- we don't have users yet so now is the best time
to do so I guess ...
