[RFC PATCH 2/3] platform/x86: lenovo-wmi-other: Add Legion Go fan RPM fallback

From: Aditya Dash

Date: Fri Aug 21 2026 - 17:49:32 EST


Some Legion Go firmware does not mark fan 1 RPM as readable in Capability
Data, although Other Mode feature 0x04030001 returns the current RPM. As a
result, lenovo-wmi-other hides fan1_input.

When the normal VALID and GET flags are missing on a supported product,
try one read from the Other Mode feature. Expose fan1_input as read-only
if the read succeeds and does not return 0xffffffff. Treat a later
0xffffffff reply as an unavailable reading.
