Re: [PATCH 0/3] ACPI: platform_profile: fix legacy sysfs with multiple handlers

I will tell you that compared with other manufacturers, when asus says
quiet, they mean quiet and not low power

Z13's quiet mode is 40W, not very low-power if you ask me. Ally X uses
13w+boost, a source of many complaints. Other manufacturers use around
8W for low power modes.

In any case, any rename might break user scripts and there are
actually 3 types of low power profiles:
PLATFORM_PROFILE_COOL
PLATFORM_PROFILE_QUIET
PLATFORM_PROFILE_LOW_POWER

Then, there is also:
PLATFORM_PROFILE_BALANCED_PERFORMANCE

Some ACER laptops implement many of those

Obscuring any of those is not ideal.
