9		low-power		Low power consumption
10		cool			Cooler operation
11		quiet			Quieter operation
12		balanced		Balance between low power consumption

26Description:	Reading this file gives the current selected profile for this
27		device. Writing this file with one of the strings from
28		platform_profile_choices changes the profile to the new value.

30		This file can be monitored for changes by polling for POLLPRI,
31		POLLPRI will be signalled on any changes, independent of those
32		changes coming from a userspace write; or coming from another
33		source such as e.g. a hotkey triggered profile change handled
34		either directly by the embedded-controller or fully handled
35		inside the kernel.
