I didn't have a closer look to the fan watchdog, but it looks like a
ThinkPad specific thing?

IMO we could need some general fan watchdog as fans are breaking away
here and there.
Latest reports came from HPs and FSC models ...

A check whether the fan/power resource is still in the assumed state
or whether something changed it behind the back is a general good idea?
