Hi Nick,

thanks for your patch!

As Bartosz said this doesn't work.

to me it looks like you should define a GPIO-controlled fan in the
device tree, similar to this:

       fan0: gpio-fan {
                compatible = "gpio-fan";
                gpios = <&gpio1 6 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
                gpio-fan,speed-map = <0 0>, <10000 1>;
                #cooling-cells = <2>;
        };

Then that cooling cell should be used by a thermal driver for the chassis
to keep the temperature reasonable. I bet you have a temperature sensor
as well, meaning they should form a thermal zone controlled by the fan.

Examples of chassis thermal zones in device tree:
arch/arm/boot/dts/gemini-dlink-dir-685.dts
arch/arm/boot/dts/gemini-dlink-dns-313.dts

Yours,
