[PATCH 16/17] Documentation: EM: Add example with driver modifying the EM

From: Lukasz Luba
Date: Tue Mar 14 2023 - 06:43:06 EST


The Energy Model (EM) support runtime modifications. Add description
with example driver code which updates EM.

+4.2 Example driver with EM modification
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

+This section provides a simple example of a thermal driver modifying the EM.
+The driver implements a foo_mod_power() function to be provided to the
