Hi Hans,

Yes sorry about that. It is now stabilised and ready for review. I don't expect any more changes unless some of the folks testing it find issues - and then I'll hold off on new versions until first review is completed.

Cheers,
Luke.

Add support for custom fan curves found on some ASUS ROG laptops.

The patch has gone through a few revisions as others tested it and
requested bahaviour changes or reported issues. V4 should be considered
finalised for now and I won't submit a new version until V4 has been
reviewed.

- V1
+ Initial patch work
- V2
+ Don't fail and remove wmi driver if error from
asus_wmi_evaluate_method_buf() if error is -ENODEV
- V3
+ Store the "default" fan curves
+ Call throttle_thermal_policy_write() if a curve is erased to ensure
that the factory default for a profile is applied again
- V4
+ Do not apply default curves by default. Testers have found that the
default curves don't quite match actual no-curve behaviours
+ Add method to enable/disable curves for each profile

You are sending new revisions pretty fast. I don't really have an issue
with that, but can you let me know when you think this has stabilized
a bit ? Then I can review it when it is not changing so much anymore :)

Hans
