RE: [PATCH V2 1/2] hwmon: pwm-fan: Add profile support and add remove module support

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

 



Hi Guenter,

Agreed with the suggestion with regards to fan profile support.
Looked at thermal driver and further planning to implement required changes in thermal core instead of pwm-fan driver.
Dropping the current series. 


Thanks & Regards,
Sandipan
