I have a system that has very over spec'd fans so the amount of noise when they
run at 100% duty cycle is considerable. We have userspace monitoring tools that
will configure appropriate fan control parameters but there is a bit of a delay
between the kernel loading the driver and the userland tools catching up to
configure the fan control. This series adds device properties that allow the
PWM duty cycle to be specified via device properties so the PWM duty cycle can
be reduced as soon as possible.
This series attempts to setup the adt7475 as a pwm provider so that we can
specify these properties. I'm reasonably happy with the devicetree support but
I'm struggling to figure out how to make this work for ACPI (which is actually
the platform I need this on). I figure the ASL is something like
Device (ADT0) {
Name (_HID, "PRP0001")
Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () {
I2cSerialBusV2 (0x2e, ControllerInitiated,
100000, AddressingMode7Bit,
"^^CH00", 0x00,
ResourceConsumer, , Exclusive, )
})
Name (_DSD, Package () {
ToUUID (UUID_DEVICE_PROPERTIES),
Package () {
Package () { "compatible", "adi,adt7476" },
},
ToUUID (UUID_HIERARCHICAL_DATA_EXTENSION),
Package () {
Package () { "fan-0", "FAN0" },
}
})
Name (FAN0, Package () {
ToUUID (UUID_DEVICE_PROPERTIES),
Package () { 0, 22500, PWM_POLARITY_INVERTED, 255 },
})
}
But I've got no idea how to parse that out keeping as much code in common with
the devicetree version.
I'm sending this series out now to get some feedback ton the DT code and
hopefully someone will give me some suggestions for dealing with the ACPI case.
