Added two ProBook 4x30s EFI modules to Staging: BIOS fan reset and BIOS Wi-Fi whitelist bypass. Built, tested and working on my ancient ProBook 4530s: successfully replaced Atheros AR9285 with non-whitelisted Broadcom BCM94352HMB Bluetooth & Wi-Fi card (Wi-Fi side of things also required kapton tape masking on a certain PCB contact on a card itself, but that‘s another story).

All credits go to @RehabMan, – I merely did the porting and separated the original EFI module in two (original combines fan reset and Wi-Fi hack together).

I make it clear that this is only for 4x30s series ProBook models and for HM65 boards. If you think this is too specific, just close this PR, – I‘ll just keep my fork as a backup. This device is very old and probably wouldn‘t interest many people.

Unfortunately we do not accept GPL code in OpenCore.

I see, it makes sense. Unfortunately, @RehabMan released his original code GPL‘d, and this can‘t be changed (and I can‘t relicense it).

I‘ll just keep it in my fork then.
