+What: /sys/firmware/acpi/platform_profile_choices
+Date: October 2020
+Contact: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>
+Description: This file contains a space-separated list of profiles supported for this device.
+
+ Drivers must use the following standard profile-names:
+
+ ==================== ========================================
+ low-power Low power consumption
+ cool Cooler operation
+ quiet Quieter operation
+ balanced Balance between low power consumption
+ and performance
+ balanced-performance Balance between performance and low
+ power consumption with a slight bias
+ towards performance
+ performance High performance operation
+ ==================== ========================================
+
+ Userspace may expect drivers to offer more than one of these
+ standard profile names.

+What: /sys/firmware/acpi/platform_profile
+Date: October 2020
+Contact: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>
+Description: Reading this file gives the current selected profile for this
+ device. Writing this file with one of the strings from
+ platform_profile_choices changes the profile to the new value.
+
+ This file can be monitored for changes by polling for POLLPRI,
+ POLLPRI will be signalled on any changes, independent of those
+ changes coming from a userspace write; or coming from another
+ source such as e.g. a hotkey triggered profile change handled
+ either directly by the embedded-controller or fully handled
+ inside the kernel.
