IMO the above enum is self explanatory we don't need to annotate.

what about below?

/**
 * enum amd_pstate_mode - driver working mode
 * All supported modes are explained in kernel-parameters.txt
 */
enum amd_pstate_mode {
	AMD_PSTATE_DISABLE = 0,
	AMD_PSTATE_PASSIVE,
	AMD_PSTATE_ACTIVE,
	AMD_PSTATE_MAX,
};

Plz remove GUIDED mode here because it allows user to pass "amd_pstate=guided"
in kernel cmdline. Therefore it breaks the driver flow without guided patches.
I can update the enum in my guided patch.
