If the EC ignores the AUTO or FULL-SPEED bits, it will pay attention to the lower three bits that set the fan level. And as thinkpad-acpi was leaving these set to zero, it would stop(!) the fan, which is Not A Good Thing. So, as a safety net, we now make sure to also set the fan level part of the HFSP register to speed 7 for full-speed, and a minimum of speed 4 for auto mode. -- second TP_EC_FAN_FULLSPEED should be P_EC_FAN_AUTO Signed-off-by: Roel Kluin <12o3l@xxxxxxxxxx> --- diff --git a/drivers/misc/thinkpad_acpi.c b/drivers/misc/thinkpad_acpi.c index cf56647..3c323fe 100644 --- a/drivers/misc/thinkpad_acpi.c +++ b/drivers/misc/thinkpad_acpi.c @@ -4138,7 +4138,7 @@ static int fan_set_level(int level) * or FULLSPEED mode bits and just ignore them */ if (level & TP_EC_FAN_FULLSPEED) level |= 7; /* safety min speed 7 */ - else if (level & TP_EC_FAN_FULLSPEED) + else if (level & TP_EC_FAN_AUTO) level |= 4; /* safety min speed 4 */ if (!acpi_ec_write(fan_status_offset, level)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
