I do not know... But if we decide to use only single value for 
multiplier and max value which fan to use for autodetection?

No, it is necessary. Function i8k_get_fan_speed is called from 
ioctl callback with value which comes from userspace. If 
userspace specify fan out of that array we can get kernel panic.
