From: Alan Jenkins <alan-jenkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface tells us that automatic fan speed control should be represented by a value of 2 or above for pwm1_enable. Fix eeepc_get_fan_ctrl() to return 2 for automatic fan control. Setting "1" for manual control is already consistent with the documentation, so this remains unchanged. Let's preserve the ABI for this specific driver, so that writing "0" will still invoke automatic control. (The documentation says setting "0" should leave the fan at full speed all the time. This mode is not directly supported by our hardware. Full speed is rather noisy on my 701 and the automatic control has never used it. If you really want this e.g. to prolong the life of an EeePC used as a server, you can always use manual mode. hwmon has always been fairly machine-specific, and you're in a tiny minority (or elite :-). I'm sure you're smart enough to notice that the fan doesn't turn on to full speed when you try this mode, either by ear or checking fan_input1. We could even claim to be honouring the spirit of the documentation. "0" really means "safe mode". EeePCs default to automatic mode, ie that is what Asus will actually test. Since we do not provide any way to tamper with the temperature threshold, automatic mode _is_ the safe option).
