That doesn't explain why not all standard attributes are utilized. "Caution"
would presumably match _warning attributes, and "Critical" would match "_crit"
attributes. There are standard attributes for intrusion detection and for humidity.

This seems odd. Fan speed is measured in RPM, which seems to
match "Revolutions" or "RPM" above, not air flow (which is
typically a volume, such as CFM). In the text above there is
"Tachometer" which would presumably the fan speed, and "Air Flow"
which isn't really defined. Even if an "Air Flow" sensor would return
RPM, that doesn't mean it is a fan. What about "Tachometer" (numeric
value 5) ?

Any status but "OK" is a fault, including "Starting", "Stopping", "Completed",
"In Service", and others ? Really ?

I really don't know what those sensors are, but this just seems wrong.
Why would the BIOS report fan speeds as "Air Flow" and not as
"Tachometer" like every other system ? If this ever reports anything but
RPM (like CFM, for which there is a define), this is obviously not a fan
but an air flow sensor, and it should not be reported as fan speed
even if it reports the air flow in RPM (whatever that would mean).

This isn't used outside this function, and keeping a pointer to it in

As mentioned by others, HP_WMI_BIOS_GUID is not in the ID table,
and checking for it is pointless. Since only HP_WMI_NUMERIC_SENSOR_GUID
is in the ID table, the entire check is pointless. Yes, it appears that
other drivers do similar checks, but the argument that it is ok to do
something unnecessary or wrong because others do it is just like saying
that it would be ok to <pick your crime> because others do it.

Please please please no goto to a return statement. It suggests that
some cleanup is needed when that is not the case. That is just confusing.
Yes, I know, some people like doing that, but that doesn't make it better.
