Bug Description

I'm running an Alienware M17 R5. The kernel module dell-smm-hwmon does not automatically load due to the DMI id being 'Alienware'. However, the system fan and cpu fan, as well as motherboard temperature sensors, are not detected until loading the dell-smm-hwmon module.

After loading the module, with argument 'ignore_dmi=1', the temperature sensors and fan sensors are detected properly.
