+    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.
