+/**
+ * DOC: power_dpm_force_performance_level
+ *
+ * The amdgpu driver provides a sysfs API for adjusting certain power
+ * related parameters.  The file power_dpm_force_performance_level is
+ * used for this.  It accepts the following arguments:
+ * - auto
+ * - low
+ * - high
+ * - manual
+ * - GPU fan
+ * - profile_standard
+ * - profile_min_sclk
+ * - profile_min_mclk
+ * - profile_peak
+ *
+ * auto
+ *
+ * When auto is selected, the driver will attempt to dynamically select
+ * the optimal power profile for current conditions in the driver.
+ *
+ * low
+ *
+ * When low is selected, the clocks are forced to the lowest power state.
+ *
+ * high
+ *
+ * When high is selected, the clocks are forced to the highest power state.
+ *
+ * manual
+ *
+ * When manual is selected, the user can manually adjust which power states
+ * are enabled for each clock domain via the sysfs pp_dpm_mclk, pp_dpm_sclk,
+ * and pp_dpm_pcie files and adjust the power state transition heuristics
+ * via the pp_power_profile_mode sysfs file.
+ *
+ * profile_standard
+ * profile_min_sclk
+ * profile_min_mclk
+ * profile_peak
+ *
+ * When the profiling modes are selected, clock and power gating are
+ * disabled and the clocks are set for different profiling cases. This
+ * mode is recommended for profiling specific work loads where you do
+ * not want clock or power gating for clock fluctuation to interfere
+ * with your results. profile_standard sets the clocks to a fixed clock
+ * level which varies from asic to asic.  profile_min_sclk forces the sclk
+ * to the lowest level.  profile_min_mclk forces the mclk to the lowest level.
+ * profile_peak sets all clocks (mclk, sclk, pcie) to the highest levels.
