We need to keep the driver loaded even if zero fans are reported, as it
is also responsible for sending suspend/resume notifications to the EC.
Failing the probe would prevent these PM notifications from reaching the EC.
Instead, I will add a dev_warn message suggesting a firmware upgrade
when zero fans are found. Let me know your thoughts.
