platform/x86: asus-wmi: fix CPU fan control on recent products
Previously, asus-wmi was using the AGFN interface and FAN_CTRL device for CPU fan control. However, this code has been found to be not fully working on some recent products, and having checked the spec, these interfaces are marked as being removed from future products currently in development. The replacement appears to be the CPU_FAN device, added in spec version 8.3 (March 2014) and present on many modern Asus laptops. Add support for this device, and use it whenever it is detected. The older approach based on AGFN and FAN_CTRL is used as a fallback on products that do not have such device. Other than switching between automatic and full speed, there is no fan speed control through this new interface.

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.
