From: Evan Quan evan.quan@amd.com Date: Wed, 1 Nov 2017 16:52:08 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] drm/amd/powerplay: wrong control mode cause the fan spins faster unnecessarily
The fan control mode can either be FDO_PWM_MODE_STATIC or FDO_PWM_MODE_STATIC_RPM. Setting it as AMD_FAN_CTRL_AUTO will cause the fan spin faster wrongly.
This can be reproduced by: '# cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1 38 '# cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1_enable 2 '# echo "2" > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1_enable '# cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1 122 The fan speed get faster wrongly even with its original mode echo back.
