This reverts commit 5ff79cabb23a2f14d2ed29e9596aec908905a0e6.
Although the Alienware m16 R1 AMD model supports G-Mode, it actually has a lower power ceiling than plain "performance" profile, which results in lower performance.

Contrary to (my) intuition, imitating Windows behavior actually results in LOWER performance.
I was having second thoughts about this revert because users will notice that "performance" not longer turns on the G-Mode key found in this laptop. Some users may think this is actually a regression, but IMO lower performance is worse. --- drivers/platform/x86/dell/alienware-wmi-wmax.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
