[PATCH v2 3/4] ACPI: platform: Add balanced-performance platform profile

From: Maximilian Luz
Date: Thu Feb 11 2021 - 15:19:34 EST


Some devices, including most Microsoft Surface devices, have a platform
profile somewhere inbetween balanced and performance. More specifically,
adding this profile allows the following mapping on Surface devices:

Vendor Name Platform Profile
------------------------------------------
Battery Saver low-power
Recommended balanced
Better Performance balanced-performance
Best Performance performance

Userspace may expect drivers to offer more than one of these
standard profile names.
