I'm still going thru the code changes - but I'm a bit unsure on the implementation itself.

I'd expect that one of the advantages of having different profile handlers register is that you could support extra & new profiles that might be wanted. For example the recent discussion of the AMD handler providing better tools to tweak advanced system settings for gaming etc. Won't this approach limit that? You'll only be able to have common settings.

I find having a common profile and two different handlers a bit tricky on how to handle. My concern is it can easily lead to conflict in settings. 
If two handlers are doing different operations to provide the same effect - then neither handler is (probably) providing what they think is required. With your CPU vs EC example, the EC will often set CPU clock thresholds and the CPU profile handler will be changing that. If this is done I think it should be explicit to the user (admittedly I'm doing this with my Lenovo hat on - but we certify our platforms with our EC profile handler)

I could see providing two separate handlers. e.g. balanced-A and balanced-B (for driver-A and driver-B) and the user maybe choosing which one they want (or both - though the user interface for that is definitely tricky) 
But choosing one option for two different drivers seems confusing and with unknown side-effects. I appreciate it's complicated by your example wanting to add CPU and EC - I know how much work you've been doing on the AMD CPU front which benefits all systems.

Another concern - would this mean that another driver could limit the options available? For instance if someone wrote a new 'mega-turbo' only profile driver and it loaded - it would then mean no profiles were available for anything as no profiles matched?

Let me know if I've misunderstood the architecture. I didn't fully get how the ASUS and Framework platforms were impacted in the intro I'm afraid.

Thanks!
