Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Read EC information on newer models

Newer ThinkPads have a totally different EC program information DMI
table. And thermal subdriver can't work without correct EC version.

Read from this entry if the old method failed to get EC information.

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree. Please read:

for how to do this properly.

Today it's a new one, tomorrow something else might come. Care to use
versioning instead?
Something line find_ec_fwstr_vXYZ().
