Quite a few laptops have this method available, but may not actually do anything. Such as the following:

FX517ZM-dsdt.dsl
92885:        Method (FANL, 1, Serialized)
92886-        {
92887-            Return (One)
92888-        }

While this one does (zenbook duo):

UX8402.dsl
88837:                Method (FANL, 1, Serialized)
88838-                {
88839-                    ODV0 = Arg0
88840-                    If ((^^PC00.PEG1.PXP._STA == One))
--
89041:                    Return (FANL (IIA0))
89042-                }
89043-
89044-                If ((Local0 == 0x4647574D))
--
89604:                        FANL (IIA1)
89605-                        Return (One)
89606-                    }
89607-

I've discovered the majority of WMI methods, you can see them here: https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/reverse-engineering/-/blob/master/WMI_SPEC.md?ref_type=heads

There is a "whisper mode" WMI  method, but I've not done much around it.

I also have a large collection of DSL if that is helpful https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/reverse-engineering/-/tree/master/dsl-collection?ref_type=heads

It seems that because I have access only to the ROG dlls at this time I may have missed the WMI method: 0x00110019, this is likely what you need as it gets FANF, and sets FANL

❯ rg 0x00110019 -B3 -A3 UX8402.dsl 
89281-                        Return (0x00010000)
89282-                    }
89283-
89284:                    If ((IIA0 == 0x00110019))
89285-                    {
89286-                        Local0 = FANF /* \_SB_.FANF */
89287-                        Local1 = 0x00070000
--
89599-                        Return (One)
89600-                    }
89601-
89602:                    If ((IIA0 == 0x00110019))
89603-                    {
89604-                        FANL (IIA1)
89605-                        Return (One)

Hopefully this is helpful,

Regards,
Luke.

P.S: If any info is discovered that I am lacking in my repo it would be highly appreciated if a PR added it.
