+ description:
+ A u32 value that represents the running time dynamic
+ power coefficient in units of uW/MHz/V^2. The
+ coefficient can either be calculated from power
+ measurements or derived by analysis.
+
+ The dynamic power consumption of the GPU is
+ proportional to the square of the Voltage (V) and
+ the clock frequency (f). The coefficient is used to
+ calculate the dynamic power as below -
+
+ Pdyn = dynamic-power-coefficient * V^2 * f
+
+ where voltage is in V, frequency is in MHz.
