+``energy_efficiency``
+ This attribute is only present on platforms, which have CPUs matching
+ Kaby Lake or Coffee Lake desktop CPU model. By default
+ energy efficiency optimizations are disabled on these CPU models in HWP
+ mode by this driver. Enabling energy efficiency may limit maximum
+ operating frequency in both HWP and non HWP mode. In non HWP mode,
+ optimizations are done only in the turbo frequency range. In HWP mode,
+ optimizations are done in the entire frequency range. Setting this
+ attribute to "1" enables energy efficiency optimizations and setting
+ to "0" disables energy efficiency optimizations.
