The default value of the maximum fan speed limit register is 0, essentially translating to an unlimited fan speed. When reading the limit, a value of 0 is reported in this case. However, writing a value of 0 results in writing a value of 0xffff into the register, which is inconsistent. To solve the problem, permit writing a limit of 0 for the maximim fan speed, effectively translating to "no limit". Write 0 into the register if a limit value of 0 is written. Otherwise limit the range to <1..6000000> and write 1..0xffff into the register. This ensures that reading and writing from and to a limit register return the same value while at the same time not changing reported values when reading the speed or limits. While at it, restrict fan limit writes to non-negative numbers; writing a negative limit does not make sense and should be reported instead of being corrected. Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- v2: Do not accept negative fan speed values Display fan speed and speed limit as 0 if register value is 0 (instead of 6000000), as in original code. Only permit writing 0 (unlimited) for the maximum fan speed. drivers/hwmon/amc6821.c | 13 +++++++++---- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/hwmon/amc6821.c b/drivers/hwmon/amc6821.c index eb2d5592a41a..9c19d4d278ec 100644 --- a/drivers/hwmon/amc6821.c +++ b/drivers/hwmon/amc6821.c @@ -617,15 +617,20 @@ static ssize_t fan_store(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, { struct amc6821_data *data = dev_get_drvdata(dev); struct i2c_client *client = data->client; - long val; + unsigned long val; int ix = to_sensor_dev_attr(attr)->index; - int ret = kstrtol(buf, 10, &val); + int ret = kstrtoul(buf, 10, &val); if (ret) return ret; - val = 1 > val ? 0xFFFF : 6000000/val; + + /* The minimum fan speed must not be unlimited (0) */ + if (ix == IDX_FAN1_MIN && !val) + return -EINVAL; + + val = val > 0 ? 6000000 / clamp_val(val, 1, 6000000) : 0; mutex_lock(&data->update_lock); - data->fan[ix] = (u16) clamp_val(val, 1, 0xFFFF); + data->fan[ix] = clamp_val(val, 0, 0xFFFF); if (i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(client, fan_reg_low[ix], data->fan[ix] & 0xFF)) { dev_err(&client->dev, "Register write error, aborting.\n"); -- 2.39.2
