The platform_profile_support variable is assigned during platform
profile setup but is never read anywhere in the driver. Remove it.

Found while reading through the driver. Compile tested only, as this
is a pure dead-code removal.

hp-wmi.c and asus-wmi.c appear to carry the same unused variable -
declared and assigned once, never read. All three were converted to
devm_platform_profile_register() in the same series, which may be where
the last reader went, though my clone is too shallow to confirm that.
Happy to send patches for the other two as well if that is useful; I
left them out here to keep this patch focused on the driver I use.

If the intent was for this variable to be checked somewhere rather than
removed, let me know and I will send that instead.

Disclosure: this patch was produced with the assistance of an AI model
(see the Assisted-by trailer). I have reviewed it and take
responsibility for it as signed off above.

Now this is interesting, git grep finds 6 platform_profile_support words 
(3 variables in two drivers) and none of them are in use. :-/

I'm not convinced there's going to be any use for any of them, probably 
leftover from past. Can you make a series to remove them all, one patch 
per driver.
