This has led to quite a bit of confusion with users not understanding why the LED color indicating the platform profile doesn't match their expectations. To solve this, replace the confusing convention by using the new max-power profile to represent "extreme mode". While add it, update the documentation to reflect the expected LED colors in each operating mode. Signed-off-by: Derek J.
