I was the one to implement fan monitoring/control into Dustin's driver, and

The ChromeOS Embedded Controller exposes fan speed and temperature

Expose this data through the hwmon subsystem.
The driver is designed to be probed via the cros_ec mfd device.

Don't forget it can also return `EC_FAN_SPEED_STALLED`.
Thanks for the hint. I'll need to think about how to handle this better.
Like Guenter, I also don't like returning `-ENODEV`, but I don't have a
problem with checking for `EC_FAN_SPEED_NOT_PRESENT` in case it was removed
since init or something.
That won't happen. Chromebooks are not servers, where one might be able to
replace a fan tray while the system is running.
In one of my testruns this actually happened.
When running on battery, one specific of the CPU sensors sporadically
returned EC_FAN_SPEED_NOT_PRESENT.
What Chromebook was that ? I can't see the code path in the EC source
that would get me there.
Ok.
My approach was to return the speed as `0`, since the fan probably isn't
spinning, but set HWMON_F_FAULT for `EC_FAN_SPEED_NOT_PRESENT` and
HWMON_F_ALARM for `EC_FAN_SPEED_STALLED`.
No idea if this is correct though.
I'm not a fan of returning a speed of 0 in case of errors.
Rather -EIO which can't be mistaken.
Maybe -EIO for both EC_FAN_SPEED_NOT_PRESENT (which should never happen)
and also for EC_FAN_SPEED_STALLED.
Yeah, that's pretty reasonable.
-EIO is an i/o error. I have trouble reconciling that with
EC_FAN_SPEED_NOT_PRESENT or EC_FAN_SPEED_STALLED.
Looking into the EC source code [1], I see:
EC_FAN_SPEED_NOT_PRESENT means that the fan is not present.
That should return -ENODEV in the above code, but only for
the purpose of making the attribute invisible.
EC_FAN_SPEED_STALLED means exactly that, i.e., that the fan
is present but not turning. The EC code does not expect that
to happen and generates a thermal event in case it does.
Given that, it does make sense to set the fault flag.
The actual fan speed value should then be reported as 0 or
possibly -ENODATA. It should _not_ generate any other error
because that would trip up the "sensors" command for no
good reason.
Ack.
Currently I have the following logic (for both fans and temp):
if NOT_PRESENT during probing:
make the attribute invisible.
if any error during runtime (including NOT_PRESENT):
return -ENODATA and a FAULT
This should also handle the sporadic NOT_PRESENT failures.
What do you think?
Is there any other feedback to this revision or should I send the next?
No, except I'd really like to know which Chromebook randomly generates
a EC_FAN_SPEED_NOT_PRESENT response because that really looks like a bug.
Also, can you reproduce the problem with the ectool command ?
Thanks,
Guenter
