The double call is needed because in the case that the call is not supported dual fan support is disabled (tp_features.second_fan = 0;), which in turn makes fan_select_fan1(); a no-op. That is why resetting to fan1 needs to be before disabling second fan support. I will post a new version that does not need that any longer, because I'm separating fan query support from fan control support.
