Before this commit fan_curve_check_present() was trying to not cause
the probe to fail on devices without fan curve control by testing for
known error codes returned by asus_wmi_evaluate_method_buf().
Checking for ENODATA or ENODEV, with the latter being returned by this
function when an ACPI integer with a value of ASUS_WMI_UNSUPPORTED_METHOD
is returned. But for other ACPI integer returns this function just returns
them as is, including the ASUS_WMI_DSTS_UNKNOWN_BIT value of 2.
On the Asus U36SD ASUS_WMI_DSTS_UNKNOWN_BIT gets returned, leading to:
asus-nb-wmi: probe of asus-nb-wmi failed with error 2
Instead of playing whack a mole with error codes here, simply treat all
errors as there not being any fan curves, fixing the driver no longer
loading on the Asus U36SD laptop.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
