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.
