/**
* DOC: power_dpm_state
*
* This is a legacy interface and is only provided for backwards compatibility.
* The amdgpu driver provides a sysfs API for adjusting certain power
* related parameters. The file power_dpm_state is used for this.
* It accepts the following arguments:
* - battery
* - balanced
* - performance
*
* battery
*
* On older GPUs, the vbios provided a special power state for battery
* operation. Selecting battery switched to this state. This is no
* longer provided on newer GPUs so the option does nothing in that case.
*
* balanced
*
* On older GPUs, the vbios provided a special power state for balanced
* operation. Selecting balanced switched to this state. This is no
* longer provided on newer GPUs so the option does nothing in that case.
*
* performance
*
* On older GPUs, the vbios provided a special power state for performance
* operation. Selecting performance switched to this state. This is no
* longer provided on newer GPUs so the option does nothing in that case.
