hp_wmi_hwmon_init() initialises keep_alive_dwork with INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
and relies on hp_wmi_bios_remove() to cancel it. Nothing cancels the work
if probe fails after hp_wmi_hwmon_init() has run, so the devm-managed
priv can be freed while the work is still pending.
The ordering is also wrong on both ends. The work is initialised only
after the hwmon device is registered, so a sysfs write to pwm1_enable
can schedule an uninitialised work item. On removal, the work is
cancelled in .remove(), before devres unregisters the hwmon device, so a
sysfs write can requeue it after the cancel.
Use devm_delayed_work_autocancel() and set it up before registering the
hwmon device. devres then cancels the work on every teardown path, after
the hwmon sysfs interface has been removed and before priv and its mutex
are released. Drop the now-unneeded cancel in hp_wmi_bios_remove() and
the platform drvdata that was only used for it.

HP Spectre x360 16-aa0xxx (board 8C17) exposes battery charge mode control
through WMI command 0x2b (GBCO/SBCO). Inhibit charge, force discharge, and
restoring automatic charging all work through that command. The
Spectre x360 14-eu0xxx (board 8C15) shares the same platform and the same
GBCO/SBCO implementation.
Unlike some other HP designs that restore automatic charging through WMI
command 0x1f (SBCC), that path fails on this BIOS. Keep the quirk limited
to boards 8C15 and 8C17 and drive all three behaviours through 0x2b only.
Expose auto / inhibit-charge / force-discharge through the standard
power_supply charge_behaviour property. Seed the reported policy from
GBCO at setup because firmware retains inhibit across reboot. Cache that
policy afterwards: GBCO also encodes live status, so 0x01 means actively
charging and 0x02 is ambiguous between force-discharge and running on
battery alone.
Observed firmware mapping on this board:
- write 0x00 -> auto; write 0x02 -> force-discharge; write 0x05 -> inhibit
- read 0x00/0x01 -> auto (0x01 = actively charging)
- read 0x02 -> force-discharge (also seen on battery alone)
- read 0x04/0x05/0x06 -> inhibit
Tested on HP Spectre x360 16-aa0xxx (board 8C17, BIOS F.16):
- inhibit stops charging on AC; GBCO reads 0x04
- force-discharge discharges on AC; GBCO reads 0x02
- restore-auto via 0x2b mode 0 resumes charging; GBCO reads 0x01
- inhibit persists across reboot (status Not charging, GBCO 0x04)
Board 8C15 was reported working by Alain Cousinie.

Changes in v2:
- Read GBCO status with FIELD_GET(HPWMI_CHARGE_MODE_READ_MASK, val)
- Add board 8C15
