ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add a safety net for TPEC fan control mode
The Linux ThinkPad community is not positive that all ThinkPads that do
HFSP EC fan control do implement full-speed and auto modes, some of the
earlier ones supporting HFSP might not.
If the EC ignores the AUTO or FULL-SPEED bits, it will pay attention to the
lower three bits that set the fan level. And as thinkpad-acpi was leaving
these set to zero, it would stop(!) the fan, which is Not A Good Thing.
So, as a safety net, we now make sure to also set the fan level part of the
HFSP register to speed 7 for full-speed, and a minimum of speed 4 for auto
mode.
