I see, but it is not like balanced on AC is closer to performance
on DC then it is to balanced on DC, right? IOW in the UI we should
still call them both balanced ?
If that is right then I think my point still stands, if PSC
has 2 separate slots (one AC one DC) for the performance
setting, then we can just set both when userspace selects a
performance level and have the actual e.g. balanced -> performance
change be done by userspace when userspace select the machine
has been connected to a charger.
