[PATCH v4 03/12] platform/x86: alienware-wmi-wmax: Improve internal AWCC API

From: Kurt Borja
Date: Sat Mar 08 2025 - 15:24:29 EST


Inline all AWCC WMI helper methods and directly return the newly
introduced __awcc_wmi_command() helper to simplify implementation.

Drop awcc_thermal_control() in favor of awcc_op_activate_profile().

Add awcc_op_get_resource_id(), awcc_op_get_current_profile() and a new
failure code.
