Ok.

Yes, Darktama is Ben Skeggs. The config option is a string that is used to pass
multiple parameters.

Well, I agree that it is my fault that I may not have thought about the
suspend/resume cycle. Thanks for reporting that. However, I'm afraid you are
hit by another bug, a bug in the ALARM mechanism, which explains why sometimes,
the fan speed isn't updated anymore. This is very worrying and may force us to
move to using Linux's periodic tasks instead.

Thanks for this review. I'll work on fixing this ASAP. I can work on the sysfs
restoration but I have no card with a PWM fan with me here. I may then require
you to test some stuff.
