Hi Darren,

please apply this series of patches.

It is intended to:

* Introduce "manual mode" support (Patch 1 & 2), which is needed to control
the fan of a few new models.

* Add an appropriate thermal governor (Patch 3). Manipulating and
fiddling around with the step-wise governor has been a very fragile thing
in the past and as it broke again, I used the opportunity to add a two
point thermal governor which implements the actual fan handling required by
acerhdf and puts from my point of view things straight.

* Do some minor clean up like:
- adding second trip point for critical temperature (Patch 4)
- removing _t suffix from struct which isn't typedef and replace unsigned
char by u8 (Patch 5)

Thanks and kind regards,
peter
