hwmon: (peci/cputemp) Fix crit_hyst returning delta instead of absolute temperature

2026-04-11T12:16:13+00:00

commit 0adc752b4f7d82af7bd14f7cad3091b3b5d702ba upstream. The hwmon sysfs ABI expects tempN_crit_hyst to report the temperature at which the critical condition clears, not the hysteresis delta from the critical limit. The peci cputemp driver currently returns tjmax - tcontrol for crit_hyst_type, which is the hysteresis margin rather than the corresponding absolute temperature. Return tcontrol directly, and update the documentation accordingly.

hwmon: (adm1177) fix sysfs ABI violation and current unit conversion

2026-04-11T12:16:12+00:00

[ Upstream commit bf08749a6abb6d1959bfdc0edc32c640df407558 ] The adm1177 driver exposes the current alert threshold through hwmon_curr_max_alarm. This violates the hwmon sysfs ABI, where *_alarm attributes are read-only status flags and writable thresholds must use currN_max. The driver also stores the threshold internally in microamps, while currN_max is defined in milliamps. Convert the threshold accordingly on both the read and write paths. Widen the cached threshold and related calculations to 64 bits so that small shunt resistor values do not cause truncation or overflow. Also use 64-bit arithmetic for the mA/uA conversions, clamp writes to the range the hardware can represent, and propagate failures from adm1177_write_alert_thr() instead of silently ignoring them. Update the hwmon documentation to reflect the attribute rename and the correct units returned by the driver.

hwmon: (ftsteutates) Fix scaling of measurements

2023-03-10T08:33:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit ca8fd8c16a8b77dfcf7f6ce52d2c863220693a78 ] A user complained that the ftsteutates driver was displaying bogus values since its introduction. This happens because the sensor measurements need to be scaled in order to produce meaningful results: - the fan speed needs to be multiplied by 60 since its in RPS - the temperature is in degrees celsius and needs an offset of 64 - the voltage is in 1/256 of 3.3V The offical datasheet says the voltage needs to be divided by 256, but this is likely an off-by-one-error, since even the BIOS devides by 255 (otherwise 3.3V could not be measured). The voltage channels additionally need a board-specific multiplier, however this can be done by the driver since its board-specific. The reason the missing scaling of measurements is the way Fujitsu used this driver when it was still out-of-tree. Back then, all scaling was done in userspace by libsensors, even the generic one. Tested on a Fujitsu DS3401-B1.

hwmon: (pwm-fan) Switch regulator dynamically

2022-09-25T21:22:11+00:00

This adds the enable attribute which is used to select if zero PWM duty means to switch off regulator and PWM or to keep them enabled but at inactive PWM output level. Depending on the select enable mode, turn off the regulator and PWM if the PWM duty is zero, or keep them enabled. This is especially important for fan using inverted PWM signal polarity. Having regulator supplied and PWM disabled, some PWM controllers provide the active, rather than inactive signal. With this change the shutdown as well as suspend/resume paths require modifcations as well.

hwmon: (aquacomputer_d5next) Add support for Aquacomputer High Flow Next

2022-09-19T13:17:06+00:00

Extend aquacomputer_d5next driver to expose various hardware sensors of the Aquacomputer High Flow Next flow sensor, which communicates through a proprietary USB HID protocol. The High Flow Next exposes +5V voltages, water quality, conductivity and flow readings. A temperature sensor can be connected to it, in which case it provides its reading and an estimation of the dissipated/absorbed power in the liquid cooling loop. Additionally, serial number and firmware version are exposed through debugfs. Registry offsets were discovered and tested by users on Github [1] [2].
