LGTM, I gonna make the python changes and this can be merge. #185 need to be update since it have some fixes to new devices |
* this is the cherry-pick commit of #185 need testing Signed-off-by: Gonçalo Negrier Duarte <[email protected]>

The commit I just push need be tested in a newer device but the code did compile. @antheas can you give a look if I miss something. |

kernel lgmt I would personally keep using rpm for older models and change the driver name though. Perhaps even split the EC fan stuff to a different module that is out-of-tree, and try to merge only the WMI to the kernel. |
Probably you are right and that would need to be done, but since I don't think the drive would be push to mainline anytime soon, let wait. |

What is the source for that? Is there already a function that uses it that is not in this commit? Maybe you already have info how to use it. It is currently not used in this file.

What is FTLE? Length?
FSTL: is this field renamed in Legion Go?
FST* = temp;
FSS* = speed; is it 0-100 (percent), pwn (0-255), or in rpm?

Good idea. By adding this new fields we get exactly 88 Bytes. These fields where not defined in the ACPI code of other models.

Hmm. This does not work for other models because FSTL is not set to 10 but just not set.

In the old code we write a buffer of size 0x20. Now we write an object of size 0x34. Will this break stuff in old models?

Why create new hwmon entries? Do we need new ones with other properties?

I guess, we can make set read/write properties depending on model or just error out/ignore it.

See above. I guess, this might be removed.
This will make it compliant with Kernel standard for hwmon and compatible with different fan curves (rpm, percentage, ...) of different models.
