Thanks to bugreport 216655 on bugzilla, the contents of the fan/thermal sensor buffers could be almost completely decoded. The first patch adds support for exposing the sensor values over a standard hwmon interface, and the second patch enables asynchronous probing for the driver since the sensor interface can be quiet slow. The patch series was tested on a Dell Inspiron 3505, with the hwmon patch being tested by multiple people over bugzilla and email. Those who tested the final version of the hwmon patch are credited with Tested-by tags. --- Changes in v3: - remove empty lines before break/return - invalidate buffer cache on resume Changes in v2: - remove already merged patches - add patch enabling asynchronous probing - cache sensor buffers - fix compilation on 32 bit - add missing break statements - remove C++ style comments - rework battery hook and hwmon probing - rework Kconfig dependencies Armin Wolf (2): platform/x86: dell-ddv: Add hwmon support platform/x86: dell-ddv: Prefer asynchronous probing drivers/platform/x86/dell/Kconfig | 8 +- drivers/platform/x86/dell/dell-wmi-ddv.c | 492 ++++++++++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 495 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) -- 2.30.2
