I'd rather prefer to do this in the vendor driver like asus-laptop.c.
Say, it is the asus-laptop driver that knows the fan control ability of
the platform and register to the thermal framework.

I checked a couple of BIOS, and it seems that both of these two methods
can be invoked by ATKD.WMNB indirectly.
So I'm wondering if it is proper to invoke these two methods directly,
and if these are some features/functionalities that are still missing in
the asus-laptop driver.

CC Corentin and Matthew.
