    ACPI / PM: save NVS memory for ASUS 1025C laptop · 21be9327

    commit 231f9415 upstream.
    
    Every time I tried to upgrade my laptop from 3.10.x to 4.x I faced an
    issue by which the fan would run at full speed upon resume. Bisecting
    it showed me the issue was introduced in 3.17 by commit 821d6f03
    (ACPI / sleep: Do not save NVS for new machines to accelerate S3). This
    code only affects machines built starting as of 2012, but this Asus
    1025C laptop was made in 2012 and apparently needs the NVS data to be
    saved, otherwise the CPU's thermal state is not properly reported on
    resume and the fan runs at full speed upon resume.
    
    Here's a very simple way to check if such a machine is affected :
    
      # cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
      55000
    
      ( now suspend, wait one second and resume )
    
      # cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
      0
    
      (and after ~15 seconds the fan starts to spin)
    
    Let's apply the same quirk as commit cbc00c13 (ACPI: save NVS memory
    for Lenovo G50-45) and reuse the function it provides. Note that this
    commit was already backported to 4.9.x but not 4.4.x.
