Re: [PATCH v2] thinkpad_acpi: Add support for dual fan control on select models

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The double call is needed because in the case that the call is not supported dual fan support is disabled (tp_features.second_fan = 0;),
which in turn makes fan_select_fan1(); a no-op. That is why resetting to fan1 needs to be before disabling second fan support.

I will post a new version that does not need that any longer, because I'm separating fan query support from fan control support.

Lars, also one question regarding the code below.

I'm not sure I got a logic behind this. Why do you need to call it twice?
