fan: Replace interpolation, smoothing with stepping
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
Fan noise is one of the top complaints reported. The existing
interpolation and smoothing logic has not sufficiently addressed the
issues with fans changing speeds too quickly in response to rapid
changes in thermals (particularly from PECI).

This behavior can be observed by with very basic tasks, such as:

- Powering on a system and logging into GNOME
- Starting a GUI application such as Firefox

Replace them with a fixed step update per event interval. Fans now have
a maximum amount they change change over time (3.9%/sec) as they move
towards a target duty.
