It turns out that both sysfs attributes actually directly control
the FN lock status/super key enable status, rather than the
triggering of the associated events. This behavior was first observed
on a Tuxedo notebook and was belived to be a hardware quirk.
However, it seems that i simply misunderstood the manual of the
OEM software for Intel NUC devices. The correct behavior is:
- fn_lock_toggle_enable enables/disables FN lock mode
- super_key_toggle_enable enables/disables the super key
Rename both sysfs attributes to avoid confusing users.

Laptop mode was introduced to save battery, by delaying and consolidating
writes and thereby maximize the time rotating hard drives wouldn't have to
spin.
Luckily, rotating hard drives, with their high spin-up times and power
draw, are a thing of the past for battery-powered devices. Reclaim has
also since changed to not write single filesystem pages anymore, and
regular filesystem writeback is lumpy by design.
The juice doesn't appear worth the squeeze anymore. The footprint of the
feature is small, but nevertheless it's a complicating factor in mm,
block, filesystems. Developers don't think about it, and it likely hasn't
been tested with new reclaim and writeback changes in years.
Let's sunset it. Keep the sysctl with a deprecation warning around for a
few more cycles, but remove all functionality behind it.

When WMAB is called to set the fan mode, the new mode is read from either
bits 0-1 or bits 4-5 (depending on the value of some other EC register).
Thus when WMAB is called with bits 4-5 zeroed and called again with
bits 0-1 zeroed, the second call undoes the effect of the first call.
This causes writes to /sys/devices/platform/lg-laptop/fan_mode to have
no effect (and causes reads to always report a status of zero).
Fix this by calling WMAB once, with the mode set in bits 0,1 and 4,5.
When the fan mode is returned from WMAB it always has this form, so
there is no need to preserve the other bits. As a bonus, the driver
now supports the "Performance" fan mode seen in the LG-provided Windows
control app, which provides less aggressive CPU throttling but louder
fan noise and shorter battery life.
Also, correct the documentation to reflect that 0 corresponds to the
default mode (what the Windows app calls "Optimal") and 1 corresponds
to the silent mode.
