Thanks for review, I will do suggested changes.

Maybe it's better to add additional argument with index to
fan_boost_mode_check_present and
call it twice?

Original code also have this check to continue module initialization
when fan_boost_mode device
is not present. It's return value is checked in asus_wmi_add()
function and it'll fail module probing.
