[regression] Laptop fan too loud (spinning nearly always) hp-wmi 7.1-rc4 kernel

Hi James! I noticed a regression report that might or might not be
related to hp-wmi; to quote
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221569 :

"""
> Hello, I'm testing 7.1 kernel tree end seeing much louder fan on my laptop even when system is idling. CPU fan is spinning nearly all the time even CPU reported temperatures are low. Currently:

> In 7.0 kernel tree is my laptop much quieter, fan spins only sometimes and with lower RPM.

See the ticket for details and kernel logs, I asked a few questions to
hopefully make things a bit easier for you.

Maybe you might have an idea what's wrong here; if not, I guess Milan,
the reporter (CCed), must bisect this to find the change that causes the
problem.

Ciao, Thorsten
