No, not in this case. It's not like registration of EM, when there
is a need to also pass the callback function. As you can see this code
operates locally and the call _get_power() just simply gets the
power in straight way. Later the whole 'runtime_table' is passed to the
EM framework to 'swap' the pointers under RCU.

Thanks Xuewen for having a look at this!
