[RFC PATCH 3/3] platform/x86: asus_wmi: Set default fan boost mode to normal

[Leon Maxx]

Set default fan boost mode to normal for multiple reasons:

1) existing code assumes that laptop started in normal mode and that is
not always true.
2) FX705DY/FX505DY starts in silent mode and under heavy CPU load it
overheats and drops CPU frequency to 399MHz [1]. Setting fan mode to
normal avoids overheating.
