We should not mention a specfic kernel version "5.18.0-rc2+" here.

"Can we move "insmod/rmmod amd-pstate-ut.ko" stuff into script amd_pstate_ut.sh?

+Unit Tests for amd-pstate
+-------------------------
+
+``amd-pstate-ut`` is a test module for testing the ``amd-pstate`` driver.
+
+ * It can help all users to verify their processor support (SBIOS/Firmware or Hardware).
+
+ * Kernel can have a basic function test to avoid the kernel regression during the update.
+
+ * We can introduce more functional or performance tests to align the result together, it will benefit power and performance scale optimization.
