Tired of fans going brr on boot or when you...start a YouTube video or something?

TODO

  • Write a real summary and rationale for these changes
  • Handle min duty
    • Replace functionality of SMOOTH_FANS_MIN
  • Evaluate if duty change is responsive enough to handle sudden heavy loads like compilation or gaming
    • Still provides enough heat dissipation?
  • Check fans work on suspend entry/exit
    • Handling for S0ix?
  • Move fan tables to per-board fan.c files
  • Track level in table instead of calculating on every interval?
    • Know whether it's moving up/down
    • Separate column for up/down temps?
  • Manual mode for system firmware/OS control of fans

Mitigate some fan noise by using a moving average instead of
instantaneous points for thermal logic.

Current logic is set to update every 250ms, so use 4 points to average
over 1s.

Replace calculating the duty on every update with tracking the level in
the fan tables to use. A second temperature column is added to the table
to allow different curves for heating up and cooling down.
