[PATCH v3 0/3] pmbus: Expand fan support and add MAX31785 driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Hello,

These three patches lay the ground work for fan control in the pmbus core and
introduce a driver for the MAX31785 Intelligent Fan Controller that makes use
of the new control features.

Since v2[1] I've addressed Rob's comments on the bindings, integrating the thermal
support and cleaning up some warts. One of the warts was regarding the
maxim,tmp-fans property which was switched to use a list of fan phandles rather
than indexes. A corresponding change is made in the driver. I also did a
comparison with the Aspeed PWM/Tach bindings but I'm not convinced there's much
to take away from it other than those bindings are somewhat broken.

In v3 I've dropped patch 4 from v2, which was a bunch of work-arounds for bad
behaviour I observed in testing. At this stage the bad behaviour appears to be
a product of the larger hardware design, not necessarily a problem with the
Maxim chip. Guenter has performed some quick testing of a cut-down v2 driver
against the MAX31785 evaluation board and couldn't reproduce the results I was
seeing[2][3], which increases the likelyhood that it's not the Maxim chip and
the work-around patch is inappropriate.

Please review!

Andrew
