Patch 4/5 is "Return the fan speed via sysfs:
/sys/devices/temperature/fan_level".
So you are saying that returning the fan speed with a non-hwmon attribute works,
but returning it with a hwmon attribute doesn't ? Not really sure if I
understand
your logic. Either fan_level doesn't return the fan speed (or an abstraction of
it),
or something in your line of argument is inconsistent.
fan_level is a fan speed _control_ value, like pwm1. It is not a fan
speed monitoring value.
Ah, ok. The patch description doesn't seem to match, though.
And why not export it as pwm1, if that is what it is ?
Well, /sys/devices/temperature is a non-standard interface anyway, so it
does not really matter. I already discussed with Goffredo the
That is true.
possibility to also expose it as pwm1 on the hwmon side, this might
happen later.
Ok.
Thanks,
Guenter
