platform_profile_low -> PLATFORM_PROFILE_LOW
platform_profile_cool -> PLATFORM_PROFILE_COOL

etc.

Taking it over get/set probably is (and you need to protect the
cur_profile pointer from concurrent updates).

And here you need to ensure that the cur_profile object doesn't go
away while this is running.  So that's why.

Well, it is not used consistently this way at least.  But OK.

No, it isn't in principle.

It returns the index of the current profile AFAICS, so I don't really
see a reason for it to fail.

Moreover, the index could be maintained by the common code along with
the cur_profile pointer, couldn't it?

Never mind, this was a mistake of mine.
