This does not seem to happen on my laptop: both command pairs set and
unset auto fan control, without other apparent effects. However, I have
dropped 0x30a3 and 0x31a3, since 0x34a3 and 0x35a3 are known to work on
all laptops where at least one command pair is known to work, and there
are no known side effects.
