[PATCH v3 1/3] acpi: platform_profile - Add max-power profile option

From: Derek J. Clark

Date: Thu Nov 13 2025 - 16:26:44 EST


Some devices, namely Lenovo Legion devices, have an "extreme" mode where
power draw is at the maximum limit of the cooling hardware. Add a new
"max-power" platform profile to properly reflect this operating mode.
