Hi Guenter,

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.

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.

I'm wondering if we shouldn't check !val for min after this line instead? Otherwise we allow 6000001+RPM speeds... which is technically unlimited.


If ix == IDX_FAN1_MIN, val must be positive because of the check above.
The expression "6000000 / clamp_val(val, 1, 6000000)" is therefore always
positive as well because val is clamped. Its minimum result would be
6000000/6000000 = 1. The alternate case of the ternary expression would
never hit because it is guaranteed that val > 0. Am I missing something ?

Thanks,
Guenter
