Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] platform/x86 acer-wmi: Improve platform profile
 handling

This patch improves the platform profile handling for laptops using the
Acer Predator interface by making the following changes - 

1) Using WMI calls to fetch the current platform profile instead of
   directly accessing it from the EC. A new helper function is
   introduced for this purpose.
2) Simplifying the cycling of platform profiles by making use of
   platform_profile_cycle()
3) Using an ACPI bitmap to dynamically set platform_profile_choices to
   better reflect the supported profiles.

The last patch also adds support for the Acer Nitro AN515-58 by adding
it to the quirk list.
