Samus: Handle fan startup in the EC, not the fan controller
The fans on samus have a recommended minimum duty cycle of 20%
while running, but 30% in order to start. We've been using the
EC's built-in fan controller for the start requirement, but it
has a minimum fast-start duty cycle of 50%. It turns out that
that speed is noticeably noisy.
This change handles the startup with logic in the EC instead, so
that the fan only tries to spin at 30% initially (or if it drops
too much below the minimum turning speed).
BUG=chrome-os-partner:33429
BRANCH=ToT,samus
TEST=make buildall -j
Boot the system, let it idle with the browser windows closed, the
browse a bit, then idle. Listen for changes to the fans.
Before, I could hear the fans kick in and out as the AP load
changed. Now it's much quieter.
