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

2026-04-02T11:23:19+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

2026-04-02T11:23:14+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: (aht10) Add support for dht20

2026-03-12T11:09:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3eaf1b631506e8de2cb37c278d5bc042521e82c1 ] Add support for dht20 temperature and humidity sensor from Aosong. Modify aht10 driver to handle different init command for dht20 sensor by adding init_cmd entry in the driver data. dht20 sensor is compatible with aht10 hwmon driver with this change. Tested on TI am62x SK board with dht20 sensor connected at i2c-2 port.

hwmon: (cros_ec) register fans into thermal framework cooling devices

2025-09-25T15:08:14+00:00

Register fans connected under EC as thermal cooling devices as well, so these fans can then work with the thermal framework. During the driver probing phase, we will also try to register each fan as a thermal cooling device based on previous probe result (whether the there are fans connected on that channel, and whether EC supports fan control). The basic get max state, get current state, and set current state methods are then implemented as well.

hwmon: (cros_ec) add PWM control over fans

2025-09-25T15:08:13+00:00

Newer EC firmware supports controlling fans through host commands, so adding corresponding implementations for controlling these fans in the driver for other kernel services and userspace to control them. The driver will first probe the supported host command versions (get and set of fan PWM values, get and set of fan control mode) to see if the connected EC fulfills the requirements of controlling the fan, then exposes corresponding sysfs nodes for userspace to control the fan with corresponding read and write implementations. As EC will automatically change the fan mode to auto when the device is suspended, the power management hooks are added as well to keep the fan control mode and fan PWM value consistent during suspend and resume. As we need to access the hwmon device in the power management hook, update the driver by storing the hwmon device in the driver data as well.

hwmon: (dell-smm) Add support for automatic fan mode

2025-09-24T14:50:09+00:00

Many machines treat fan state 3 as some sort of automatic mode, which is superior to the separate SMM calls for switching to automatic fan mode for two reasons: - the fan control mode can be controlled for each fan separately - the current fan control mode can be retrieved from the BIOS On some machines however, this special fan state does not exist. Fan state 3 acts like a regular fan state on such machines or does not exist at all. Such machines usually use separate SMM calls for enabling/disabling automatic fan control. Add support for it. If the machine supports separate SMM calls for changing the fan control mode, then the other interface is ignored.
