More specifically, adding this profile allows the following mapping on Surface devices: Vendor Name Platform Profile ------------------------------------------ Battery Saver low-power Recommended balanced Better Performance balanced-performance Best Performance performance Suggested-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Maximilian Luz <luzmaximilian@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Some devices, including most Microsoft Surface devices, have a platform
profile somewhere inbetween balanced and performance. More specifically,
adding this profile allows the following mapping on Surface devices:

  Vendor Name           Platform Profile
  ------------------------------------------
  Battery Saver         low-power
  Recommended           balanced
  Better Performance    balanced-performance
  Best Performance      performance

Documentation: Add documentation for new platform_profile sysfs attribute 2020-12-30T17:28:57+00:00 Mark Pearson markpearson@lenovo.com 2020-12-30T00:18:25+00:00 8e0cbf356377fabac47a027dd176cd1cacc5fc01 On modern systems the platform performance, temperature, fan and other hardware related characteristics are often dynamically configurable. The profile is often automatically adjusted to the load by some automatic-mechanism (which may very well live outside the kernel). These auto platform-adjustment mechanisms often can be configured with one of several 'platform-profiles', with either a bias towards low-power consumption or towards performance (and higher power consumption and thermals). Introduce a new platform_profile sysfs API which offers a generic API for selecting the performance-profile of these automatic-mechanisms.
