Thank you for your patch.

I have just landed a very similar patch form Jorge from HP:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pdx86/platform-drivers-x86.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=00b1829294b7c88ecba92c661fbe6fe347b364d2

The first 3 hunks of the patch are the same, only the conditions
under which the:

	set_bit(PLATFORM_PROFILE_QUIET, platform_profile_handler.choices);

call is made are different, Jorge's patch does this essentially like this:
	
	if (!is_omen_thermal_profile())
		set_bit(PLATFORM_PROFILE_QUIET, platform_profile_handler.choices);

which seems a bit cleaner to me and hopefully works just as well
or maybe even better.

Regards,

Hans
