What about the below wording?

""

passive
	Use amd_pstate with passive mode as a scaling driver.
	In this mode autonomous selection is disabled.
	Driver requests a desired performance level and PMFW
	tires to match the same performance level (if it is
	satisfied by guaranteed performance level).

Perry, let me know if it looks fine to you?

I'll rewrite this as:

guided
	Activate guided autonomous mode. Driver requests minimum and
	maximum performance level and the PMFW autonomously
	selects a performance level in this range and appropriate
	to the current workload.
