From ACPI spec[1] below 3 modes for CPPC can be defined:
1. Non autonomous: OS scaling governor specifies operating frequency/
performance level through `Desired Performance` register and platform
follows that.
2. Guided autonomous: OS scaling governor specifies min and max
frequencies/ performance levels through `Minimum Performance` and
`Maximum Performance` register, and platform can autonomously select an
operating frequency in this range.
3. Fully autonomous: OS only hints (via EPP) to platform for the required
energy performance preference for the workload and platform autonomously
scales the frequency.
Currently (1) is supported by amd_pstate as passive mode, and (3) is
implemented by EPP support[2]. This change is to support (2).
In guided autonomous mode the min_perf is based on the input from the
scaling governor. For example, in case of schedutil this value depends
on the current utilization. And max_perf is set to max capacity.
To activate guided auto mode ``amd_pstate=guided`` command line
parameter has to be passed in the kernel.
Below are the results (normalized) of benchmarks with this patch:

I tested "active" mode on a Zen2, using EPP v12 and this series on top.
Here is the output of 'cpupower frequency-info' run as root under full load:
analyzing CPU 0:
driver: amd_pstate_epp
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
maximum transition latency: Cannot determine or is not supported.
hardware limits: 550 MHz - 4.67 GHz
available cpufreq governors: performance powersave
current policy: frequency should be within 550 MHz and 4.67 GHz.
The governor "powersave" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware
current CPU frequency: 4.18 GHz (asserted by call to kernel)
boost state support:

Active: yes
Boost States: 0
Total States: 3

Changing EPP mode via sysfs works.

AMD PSTATE Lowest Performance: 20. Lowest Frequency: 550 MHz.

Seems to work fine so far.
Hope this helps.
I can test more in detail and give you a Tested-by tag if wanted.
Thanks,
