Wow, that was easy :-).

so I did:
download the driver source and makefile
make
=> several new files show up including a .ko - WOHOOO
sudo rmmod dell-smm-hwmon
lsmod | grep hwmo
=> nothing
sudo insmod ./dell-smm-hwmon.ko
=> nothing
lsmod | grep hwmo
=> dell_smm_hwmon         16384  0

sudo sensors
=>

sudo pwmconfig
=> fans definitely stop and restart as the script indicates they should

Conclusion: works for me (TM) - without force or any special options

Thanks Jean, that was easy.

Looking forward to see it in some future kernel.

Kind regards
