Title:
Fan control stops working on resume for Dell Precision
Status in linux-signed package in Ubuntu:

Status in linux-signed-hwe package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
This system is a Dell Precision Tower 3420 with the latest BIOS
2.13.1, kernel version is 5.3.0-26-generic (HWE, bionic)
Freshly booting the system and doing something CPU intensive, like
compiling a kernel, cause the CPU fan to ramp up as expected and the
CPU temperatures remain acceptable.
After suspending (ie Alt-clicking the power button in Unity) and then
resuming, the CPU fan runs at a permanent low frequency and does not
ramp up. Doing something like a kernel build causes the CPU to
overheat and logs messages to dmesg.
Investigating I see that the dell_smm_hwmon driver has a 'temp2' input
that reflects the CPU temperature. Upon power up the value works
properly, after resume it returns -ENODATA. The other sensor for CPU
temperature (thermal_zone3/temp, x86_pkg_temp) still works correctly.
Blacklisting the dell_smm_hwmon driver has no impact
Dell Precisions are listed as compatible with Ubuntu, and this system
was purchased with Ubuntu pre-installed from Dell, so it is surpsing
something so basic isn't working?
