ACPI: fan: Expose fan performance state information

When _FPS indicates variable speed fan support, the thermal cooling
device for fan shows max performance state count as "max_state"
(greater than or equal to 1).

But the thermal cooling device doesn't expose the properties of each
performance state. This is not enough for smart fan control user
space software, which also considers speed, power and noise level.

This change exposes the properties of the fan performance states
in the sysfs directory of the ACPI device representing the fan,
that is

/sys/bus/acpi/devices/devices/INT3404:00

or

/sys/bus/platform/devices/PNP0C0B:00.

For example:

$ ls /sys/bus/acpi/devices/INT3404\:00
description  path           state0   state11  state4  state7  status
hid          physical_node  state1   state2   state5  state8  subsystem
modalias     power          state10  state3   state6  state9  uevent
uid          wakeup

where each state* attribute lists the properties of a fan performance
state in the following format:

control_percent:trip_point:speed_rpm:noise_level_mdb:power_mw

$ cat /sys/bus/acpi/devices/INT3404\:00/state10
95:0:11600:47500:4500

as documented in

Documentation/admin-guide/acpi/fan_performance_states.rst

While at it, return the correct error code from acpi_fan_probe()
when acpi_fan_get_fps() or acpi_fan_get_fif() fails.

+===========================
+ACPI Fan Performance States
+===========================
+
+When the optional _FPS object is present under an ACPI device representing a
+fan (for example, PNP0C0B or INT3404), the ACPI fan driver creates additional
+"state*" attributes in the sysfs directory of the ACPI device in question.
+These attributes list properties of fan performance states.
+
+For more information on _FPS refer to the ACPI specification at:
+
+http://uefi.org/specifications
+
+For instance, the contents of the INT3404 ACPI device sysfs directory
+may look as follows::
+
+ $ ls -l /sys/bus/acpi/devices/INT3404:00/
+ total 0
+...
+ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 13 20:38 state0
+ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 13 20:38 state1
+ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 13 20:38 state10
+ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 13 20:38 state11
+ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 13 20:38 state2
+ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 13 20:38 state3
+ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 13 20:38 state4
+ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 13 20:38 state5
+ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 13 20:38 state6
+ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 13 20:38 state7
+ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 13 20:38 state8
+ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 13 20:38 state9
+ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 13 01:00 status
+ ...
+
+where each of the "state*" files represents one performance state of the fan
+and contains a colon-separated list of 5 integer numbers (fields) with the
+following interpretation::
+
+control_percent:trip_point_index:speed_rpm:noise_level_mdb:power_mw
+
+* ``control_percent``: The percent value to be used to set the fan speed to a
+  specific level using the _FSL object (0-100).
+
+* ``trip_point_index``: The active cooling trip point number that corresponds
+  to this performance state (0-9).
+
+* ``speed_rpm``: Speed of the fan in rotations per minute.
+
+* ``noise_level_mdb``: Audible noise emitted by the fan in this state in
+  millidecibels.
+
+* ``power_mw``: Power draw of the fan in this state in milliwatts.
+
+For example::
+
+ $cat /sys/bus/acpi/devices/INT3404:00/state1
+ 25:0:3200:12500:1250
+
+When a given field is not populated or its value provided by the platform
+firmware is invalid, the "not-defined" string is shown instead of the value.
