[PATCH v2] platform/x86: hp-wmi: Add dual-channel PWM fan control for Victus S

[Kürşat Abaylı]

Currently, manual fan control on supported Victus S models uses a single
PWM value for both CPU and GPU fans, linking their speeds via a hardcoded
gpu_delta offset. This prevents userspace tools from managing the thermal
profiles of the CPU and GPU independently.

Refactor the hwmon implementation to support independent dual-channel
PWM control:
- Split the single 'pwm' state into 'cpu_pwm' and 'gpu_pwm'.
- Expose a second PWM channel ('pwm2') to userspace via hwmon_channel_info.
- Remove the gpu_delta mechanism entirely.

The 'pwm1_enable' mode remains shared, as the underlying hardware does
not support per-fan modes. When switching to manual mode, both fans are
smoothly initialized to their current RPMs. Additionally, ensure that
the HP_FAN_SPEED_AUTOMATIC flag is isolated from rpm_to_pwm mathematical
interpolations during mode resets to prevent unintended fan states.

Tested on: HP Victus 16-s0xxx

Changes in v2:
- Made RPM readings atomic during the transition to manual mode.
- Fixed a variable scoping issue in the pwm_input block.

These ternary expressions are a bit hard to read with the line
wrappings. Let's expand them into standard if-else blocks for better
readability.

Please use the CPU_FAN and GPU_FAN macros here instead of hardcoding 0
or 1. It makes the channel mapping more explicit.
