Bug#713943: Same problem with linux-image-3.12-1-powerpc64

[Erik de Castro Lopo <erikd@mega-nerd.com>]

Hi,

I run debian testing on a dual G5 powermac.

Just upgraded from linux-image-3.4-trunk-powerpc64 to
linux-image-3.12-1-powerpc64 and found the same issue. The windfarm
modules are loading but the about 30 seconds to a couple of minutes
after booting to 3.12-1-powerpc64 the fans speed up to full speed.

lsmod says the windfarm modules are being loaded, and its the same
modules being loaded under the 3.4 kernel.

I have however found a difference. On 3.12 I get:

    > dmesg | grep windfarm                 
    [    4.358299] windfarm: initializing for dual-core desktop G5

whereas on 3.4 I get:

    > dmesg | grep windfarm                 
    [    4.791589] windfarm: initializing for dual-core desktop G5
    [    9.077416] windfarm: CPUs control loops started.
    [   12.440957] windfarm: Backside control loop started.
    [   12.491701] windfarm: Slots control loop started.
    [   12.592933] windfarm: Drive bay control loop started.

Definitely something wonky there.
