Allow the module to be loaded on Dell XPS 9570, without having to use
the "force=1" option. The module loads without problems, and reports
correct fan values:
$ time cat /proc/i8k
1.0 1.5 -1 35 0 0 0 0 -1 -22
cat /proc/i8k 0.00s user 0.00s system 7% cpu 0.033 total
However, the call may freeze the kernel for a very small time due to
code running in the SSM layer. This is a known issue with the driver, and
can be reproduced with other supported models. Average execution
time is 33 ms.
The command line tools from i8kutils can properly set the fan speed,
although the firmware will override it, unless automatic fan
control is disabled with the proper SSM call.
Average fans speed (when firwmare automatic control is off):
STATE -> RPM
0 0 -> 0 0
1 1 -> 2500 2500
2 2 -> 5100 5100
3 3 -> same as 2 2
