The whole fan level stuff looks a bit complicated to me. Especially the
fan_control_desired_level handling is somethat strange because it
considers values as invalid that are written by fan_set_level() before.
It ignores the TP_EC_FAN_FULLSPEED and TP_EC_FAN_AUTO values. Now, in
fan_resume(), this value is checked against TP_EC_FAN_FULLSPEED which
makes no sense to me.

The attached patch tries to simplify this a bit. It sets
fan_control_desired_level to the current EC value in fan_init(), and
also tries to keep fan_control_desired_level and the real EC value in
sync. I also removed the checks against 7 and TP_EC_FAN_FULLSPEED in
fan_resume() as they made no sense to me. This works as intended on my
X61s after rmmod/insmod and suspend/resume.
