Your bootloader initialize set_cnt with 0x5a. Mine don't and it is precisely the issue: set_cnt is still 0xff (the default value) when the driver controls the fan. Please, could you try open-loop mode with set_cnt set to 0xff ? Maybe you can enforce this value for the test purpose ? If you observe the same behaviour than me, then could modify the driver to ensure that set_cnt is not 0xff when open-loop mode is selected ?

Actually, I have only problems when set_cnt worths 0xff. Please, could you try the tests mentioned above ?
