[PATCH 4/4] drm/amdgpu: extend profiling mode.

[Zhu, Rex]

Sorry for the late response.

Yes, I set the fan speed to max in this patch when user set high performance.

Considering that: 1. set fan speed to max is helpful to let GPU run under highest clock as long as possible.
	           2. avoid GPU rapid temperature rise in some case.


Best Regards
Rex
