Changed:
o Applied Borislav Petkov's patch (convert the fancmd[] array to a real struct thus disambiguating command handling and making code more readable.)
o Added BIOS product to BIOS table as AOA110 and AOA150 have
different register values
o Added force_product parameter to allow forcing different
product
o fixed linker warning caused by "acerhdf_drv" not being named
"acerhdf_driver"

It looks like this work should have been presented as four separate patches.

I'm not that familiar with git in general and sending patches yet. How do you do this in an effective way? Diffing all changes via git and then splitting up the "all-in-one-patch" to four smaller patches manually?

Inclusion of Borislav's Signed-off-by: would be appropriate.

I wasn't sure whether I'm allowed to send the patch with his signed-off, as there were other things in the patch, he didn't review. But next time I'll send such a patch splitted up and then it's clear.

Thanks for your honesty,
kind regards,
