PM: EM: Clarify abstract scale usage for power values in Energy Model
The Energy Model (EM) can store power values in milli-Watts or in abstract scale. This might cause issues in the subsystems which use the EM for estimating the device power, such as: - mixing of different scales in a subsystem which uses multiple (cooling) devices (e.g. thermal Intelligent Power Allocation (IPA)) - assuming that energy [milli-Joules] can be derived from the EM power values which might not be possible since the power scale doesn't have to be in milli-Watts To avoid misconfiguration add the requisite documentation to the EM and related subsystems: EAS and IPA.
