+Operation 0x02 returns a *system description* buffer with the following
+structure:
+
+::
+
+ out[0] -> Number of fans
+ out[1] -> Number of sensors
+ out[2] -> 0x00
+ out[3] -> Number of thermal modes
+
 Operation 0x03 list all available fan IDs, sensor IDs and thermal profile
 codes in order, but different models may have different number of fans and
 thermal profiles. These are the known ranges:
