Hi,

Yes; normally fan.ko is insmodded in my boot sequence. At that point
in the boot sequence the fan turns off and cannot be turned on again
(see results of echos to fan state earlier). After the DSDT patch, the
fan stays on through the boot sequence, fan.ko is shown as loaded via
lsmod, and echos to fan state behave as expected.

Best,
