Yeah, this one is minor all things considered. Since there is a
justification. Even if user error is not the best of justifications.

But as I maintain a userspace TDP tool, I can tell you that if the
other issue is not fixed, /sys/firmware/acpi/platform_profile is no
longer trustworthy due to being able to occlude platform profiles. So
a mitigation will be needed for all userspace power utilities. But
there is actually very little use currently for
/sys/class/platform-profile as AMD pmf is mostly a NOOP, so I think
this would be premature and should be avoided.

While I do not have a large portfolio of ACPI collections for
Thinkpads, HP, Alienware, and Dell that have WMI drivers, I can see
amd-pmf popping up on a lot of the late 2024 models of GPD, Ayaneo,
Lenovo, and Asus, and going into 2025. So it is worthwhile fixing this
now once and for all.
